Abstract
A patient with acute subdural hematoma was successfully treated with hemicraniectomy. He developed contralateral weakness 4 months after surgery which was reversed by cranioplasty. The presumptive mechanism is a gradient between atmospheric and intracranial pressure. Early cranioplasty is suggested to prevent this phenomenon.Entities:
