The mean age was 45.6 years old. 80% of all cases had a history of head injury and one of the clinical manifestations of increased intracranial pressure as well as contralateral hemiparesis. The most common site of hematoma was fronto-parietal region. 42 cases were treated with simple drainage and 11 cases with membranectomy.
