ABSTRACT

Introduction: Chronic subdural hematoma is one of the most common clinical entities in everyday neurosurgical practice, which incidence and prevalence increase considerably with age. Conservative treatment can be very useful in many patients.
Objective: To show that the exclusive pharmacological management of this condition can be considered in many patients.
Clinical cases: Two elderly patients attended at the neurosurgery service are presented with a diagnosis of chronic subdural hematoma. They were treated only with drugs.
Conclusions: The final result was the reabsorption of the subdural collections, which was proven by imaging studies.
