Description
Summary:The authors reported a case of refractory chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) in a 56-year-old male after minor head trauma. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) of the brain revealed contralateral middle meningeal artery (MMA) supply in the parafalcine hematoma. •No consensus about the pathophysiology of chronic SDH.•Angiography is rarely arranged for cases of CSDH.•Contralateral middle meningeal artery (MMA) contributes to the recurrence of chronic SDH has never been documented.
