Description
Yan Li and nine colleagues review a shift in care for chronic subdural haematoma in their 2026 paper. In this condition, blood collects slowly under the skull covering, often in older adults. Standard surgery drains the fluid, yet the collection often returns.
Newer care blocks the middle meningeal artery, the vessel feeding the fragile membranes that keep the bleed going. Early studies and recent large trials show fewer recurrences and repeat operations when the blocking procedure is added to surgery. Guidelines from 2025 now back it as an added treatment for selected patients. Trials continue on using it alone, which may suit frail patients who face high surgical risk.
