Endovascular Embolization and Atorvastatin Therapy for Recurrent Chronic Subdural Hematoma.

Recurrent chronic subdural hematoma poses a significant clinical challenge. While craniotomy effectively removes the hematoma membrane, it is an invasive procedure associated with significant trauma. Recently, endovascular embolization of the middle meningeal artery has emerged as a promising minimally invasive alternative, demonstrating efficacy and a low recurrence rate in treating chronic subdural hematoma. Furthermore, postoperative administration of oral atorvastatin calcium may enhance hematoma absorption, thereby improving patient outcomes during the early recovery phase.
