Abstract: Acute subdural hematoma (ASH) is a collection of acute blood into the subarachnoid space. The most common cause of ASH is head trauma with consequent rupture of a cortical blood vessel, commonly a bridging vein. Their treatment is a surgical emergency and the outcome is related to the age, size of hematoma as well as to the rapidity of the surgical treatment. Guidelines have already clarified the necessity of a surgical approach in specific cases of ASH.
