Methods: Patients with SDH were identified retrospectively from 227 consecutive SIH patients. Data were collected on demographics, clinical courses, neuroimaging findings, and treatment of SDH, which was later divided into conservative treatment, epidural blood patches (EBP), and surgical intervention. Poor outcome was defined as severe neurological sequelae or death. Results: Forty-five patients (20%) with SDH (mean maximal thickness 11.9 6.2 mm) were recruited. All 15 patients with SDH
