Rapid resolution of traumatic acute subdural haematoma in the elderly.
Rapid resolution of acute subdural haematoma (ASDH) has rarely been observed. Two elderly patients with rapid resolution of ASDH are described. In the present cases, it was indicated that a mechanism of rapid resolution of ASDH was attributable to cerebrospinal fluid dilution and cerebral atrophy resulting from aging.
