Intracerebral hemorrhage ocurring after chronic subdural hematoma evacuation, is a rare and very serious postoperative complication. The sudden increase of cerebral blood flow in the hemisphere beneath the hematoma, is the most likely mechanism responsible for this situation. Two new cases of intracerebral hemorrage after evacuation of chronic subdural hematomas are reported.
