[The first experience of endovascular treatment of chronic subdural hematomas with non-adhesive embolization materials of various viscosities: Squid 12 and 18].

Chronic subdural hematomas (CSH) usually require surgical evacuation via a burr hole or craniotomy. Certain incidence of recurrent postoperative CSH is known. Middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization has been described as an alternative surgery for new or recurrent CSH or as a preventive measure to reduce the risk of postoperative recurrence. The authors report successful MMA embolization with 2 non-adhesive embolic agents of various viscosities (SQUID 12 and SQUID 18, Balt USA, Irvine, CA, USA) for recurrent postoperative CSH in a 44-year-old woman.
