Abstract

Background: A registry of chronic subdural hematoma does not exist in France yet.

Objective: To present a monocentric pilot project of a French registry of surgical management of chronic subdural hematoma.

Method: A monocentric pseudonymized formal database was created. From May 2020 to May 2021, all patients undergoing surgical evacuation of chronic subdural hematoma were entered into the database.

Results: One hundred and twenty four surgeries from 113 patients were entered in the database. Patients' demographic and surgical data as well as follow-up are described.

Conclusion: A local database is easy to implement. We propose a national registry of chronic subdural hematoma management.

Keywords: Chronic subdural hematoma; Database; Pilot project; Registry.
