Popis: Patients with subdural hygroma (SDG) are at increased risk of developing chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). However, the factors that increase the risk of conversion are not fully understood. This study was to assess the risk factors of SDG conversion to CSDH.We reviewed the literature and retrospectively studied a series of cases in which CSDH was preceded by SDG to understand the natural history. We reviewed 45 cases of SDG from our hospital between 2015 and 2018. The cases were divided into two groups according to whether SDG converted into CSDH. Data were collected clinical presentation, imaging findingsUnivariate analysis showed that the SDG thickness (Bilateral SDG and SDG thickness were independent risk factors for SDG progression into CSDH. An SDG thickness11.37 mm had a high risk of SDG conversion.
