###Human: Can subdural hematoma be cured by medicines alone? ###Assistant: Hello. Surgery is absolutely indicated in this case. This hematoma cannot be cured with medications. Surgery should not be delayed as there is a possibility of permanent brain damage if the mass effect is not relieved. This is usually a minor surgery. Burr holes and drainage is the usual operation in most cases. In some cases, when there are membranes in the hematoma, craniotomy may be required to prevent recurrence.In addition to the surgery, Ecosprin (Aspirin) should be stopped immediately. It can be restarted at a later date depending upon its need. For more information consult a neuro surgeon online -->
