====== Acute subdural hematoma after chronic subdural hematoma surgery ======
Although [[acute subdural hematoma]] after chronic subdural hematoma surgery is rare, it could still occur and is associated with a poor clinical outcome. Although rare, most of them occur immediately or within a few days after drainage, especially in patients who are on antiplatelet drugs or anticoagulants. We report an unusual case of delayed-onset acute SDH that developed 14 days after burr hole drainage of chronic SDH in a 54-year-old man with liver cirrhosis and thrombocytopenia
