Background: Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a frequently encountered entity in
neurosurgery. The
objective of this study was to describe the use of unbiased Cavalieri principle
to assess CSDH volume to total brain volume fraction (Percentage) and compare it with the clinical features of
the patients.

Methods: A total of
33 patients were included in the study. Computed tomography (CT) was acquired
from the hospital-imaging database. The ratio of hematoma volume, brain volume, and hematoma volume to
brain volume were measured via CT by two clinicians. Measurements
were compared with clinical findings.

Results: The sample consisted of 22 males and
11 females and mean age 67,27±12,63 years. The measured
hematoma volume was 89,78 ± 54,13 cm³, the brain volume was 1329,91
± 2098,35 cm³ and the percentage volume was 8,14 ± 4,92 cm³.
The brain volume values of the cases with impaired consciousness were found to
be statistically significant (p <0.05).

Conclusion: It should be kept in mind
that the bleeding volume of patients with vomiting may be higher.
