Chronic subdural haematoma (CSDH)—an 'old' collection of blood and blood breakdown products in the subdural space—is one of the most common neurological disorders, especially among elderly individuals.

This Review provides an overview of the contemporary management of CSDH, and considers future approaches that could optimize patient care and outcomes.
