However, on day 4 after the injury he deteriorated gradually and a new CT scan revealed enlargement of the left subdural collection with dilatation of the ventricles (Figures 1(a) and 1(b)). A followup CT scan (Figure 1(c) and 1(d)) three months after the operation showed normalization of the ventricles, and the subdural collection was almost absent.

A followup CT scan showed complete removal of the hematoma, but the subsequent scans revealed a subdural CSF collection with ventricular dilatation (Figure 2(a)). The subdural effusion disappeared, and the hydrocephalus was successfully treated (Figure 2(b)).

Satisfactory removal of an acute subdural hematoma (a), but the followup scan revealed ventricular dilation with a right subdural effusion and widening of the interhemispheric fissure (b) and (c), which were successfully treated with a V-P shunt.
