ABSTRACT

Subdural hygroma is a collection of cerebrospinal fluid in the subdural space after head injury; HSD can develop sometimes after descompressive craniectomy and can be ipsilateral or contralateral. Its appearance can be due to several fisiopathologic mechanisms such as loss of normal pulsatility of the cerebrospinal fluid after discontinuity of the skull. Some collections need evacuation, but cranioplasty is the definite solution. We present the case of a patient with severe head injury who developed a contralateral HSD and cranioplasty was the definite solution.
