Abstract
Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is one of the most common neurosurgical conditions
and is usually treated by simple burr-hole drainage. Prognosis is usually good unless
complications occur. Use of infant feeding tube (IFT) for irrigation of hematoma in
case of CSDH with septum is a common practice. However, it poses a significant risk.
We present two cases of intraparenchymal hemorrhage as a complication of CSDH evacuation
in which IFT was used for irrigation.
