We routinely measured the exact chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) volume during single burr hole surgery. To date, several risk factors have been reported for CSDH recurrence, including sex, hematoma volume and degree of midline shift calculated from computed tomography, use of anticoagulants or antiplatelet medications, and alcohol consumption habits. The aim of this study was to clarify whether hematoma volume, in conjunction with other factors, can predict recurrence.
