✦ Synopsis

Despite a number of studies on infiltration of eosinophilic granulocytes into the outer membrane of chronic subdural hematomas, the significance of this phenomenon is not clear. We investigated histologically the membranes of 40 patients with chronic subdural encapsulated hematoma. Infiltrations with eosinophilic leucocytes were found in the granulation tissue of the inner layer of the outer membrane, either diffuse and sporadic (12 cases) or as massive agglomerations (28 cases). Fifty percent of the patients with marked infiltrations were between 61 and 80 years old. In 5 cases Charcot-Leyden crystals were identified. The numerous functions of the eosinophils play a more important role in repair than in maintenance of fluidity of hematomas.

After surgical evacuation of a subdural hematoma there is a constant relationship between the return of the deep veins to the midline, the clinical recovery and the absence of a new subdural collection, even when the anterior cerebral artery remains deviated across the midline.
