Most [[subdural hygroma]]s that are asymptomatic do not require any [[treatment]]. Some might opt to perform simple [[burr hole]]s to alleviate [[intracranial pressure]] (ICP). Occasionally a temporary [[drain]] is placed for 24-48 hours post-op. In recurrent cases, a [[craniotomy]] may be performed to attempt to locate the location of the CSF Leak. In certain cases, a shunt can be placed for additional drainage. Great caution is used when choosing to look for the CSF leak due to them generally being difficult to spot.
