Introduction: Hemorrhages beneath the dura define a subdural hematoma.
Exegesis: The course of chronic subdural hematoma may be asymptomatic for many months before diagnosis. Recovery is observed in 80% of patients after surgery. We report two cases of chronic subdural hematoma successfully treated with steroids.
Conclusion: Steroids can be an alternative treatment of subdural hematoma, specially in elderly or alcoholic patients.
