Summary
In a series of 88 cases of chronic subdural haematoma, the occurrence of dilatation of the posterior portion of the contralateral ventricle was found to be unrelated to any major neurological variable. There was, however, a prevalence of recurrences of the subdural effusions in the patients with partial hydrocephalus, compared with patients without ventricular dilatation.
