The authors present a case of refractory chronic subdural hematoma (CSH) in a 59-year-old man with coagulopathy due to liver cirrhosis. The patient was successfully treated by embolization of the middle meningeal artery after several drainage procedures. This new therapeutic approach to recurrent CSH is discussed.

Refractory chronic subdural hematoma supplied by contralateral middle meningeal artery: Case report
[Middle meningeal artery embolization for chronic subdural haematoma. Case series and literature review].
TLDR
The authors report 11 patients with chronic subdural hematoma scheduled for middle meningeal artery embolization and review the literature data on this issue.
Refractory Chronic Subdural Hematoma
TLDR
Embolization of middle meningeal artery is an interesting option for refractory chronic subdural hematoma and multi-institutional studies with pooling of patients are necessary to generate evidence-based treatment guidelines.
Embolization of the Middle Meningeal Artery for Refractory Chronic Subdural Haematoma
TLDR
Endovascular embolization of the middle meningeal artery was performed in two cases of refractory chronic subdural haematoma after repeated burr hole and irrigation surgeries, and the haem atoma disappeared completely in one case.

TLDR
A case of refractory non-traumatic subgaleal hematoma occurring in a 15-year-old male patient is presented and the patient was successfully treated by embolization of the superficial temporal artery.
A case of refractory subgaleal hematoma in adolescence treated with aspiration and endovascular surgery
TLDR
The combination of aspiration of hematoma and embolization may be effective for refractory non-traumatic subgaleal hematomas in boys with sudden headache.
Usefulness of Middle Meningeal Embolization to Prevent Recurrent Spontaneous Chronic Subdural Hemorrhage
TLDR
To the best knowledge, this is the first report of CMML with spontaneous chronic SDH, and MMA embolization is potentially a useful and safe treatment option in the challenging clinical situations with underlying pathologies.
Efficacy of middle meningeal artery embolization in the treatment of refractory chronic subdural hematoma
TLDR
MMA embolization can be an effective adjuvant procedure in preventing the recurrence of CSH and appears to represent the macrocapillaries in the outer membrane ofCSH.
Embolization of the Middle Meningeal Artery Effectively Treats Refractory Chronic Subdural Hematoma: A Systematic Review
TLDR
MMA embolization is suggested as an alternative for treatment of non-curable CSDH, especially for old people with systematic diseases, who cannot tolerate repeat surgery.

[Chronic subdural hematoma secondary to coagulopathy].
TLDR
Treatment of CSH secondary to coagulopathy should be selected as follows: Conservative treatment is to be the first choice, if conditions allow it, and the need for slow decompression should be kept in mind.
[Superselective angiographic findings of ipsilateral middle meningeal artery of chronic subdural hematoma in adults].
TLDR
The authors reported the results of continuous superselective angiography of the ipsilateral middle meningeal artery in cases of chronic subdural hematoma (CSH) in adults, which found diffuse dilatation of MMA and visualization of scattered abnormal vascular networks (VN), which seemed to be macrocapillaries in the outer membrane of the CSH.
[Use of Ommaya CSF reservoir for refractory chronic subdural hematoma].
TLDR
By using this method reoperation was unnecessary, and the patients were able to move early in the post-operative period, this method was suitable for refractory chronic subdural hematoma with severe disease influencing its clinical course.
[Histological study of operated cases of chronic subdural hematoma in adults: relationship between dura mater and outer membrane].
TLDR
In 31 consecutive operated cases of chronic subdural hematoma (CSH) in adults, a histological study of the outer membrane and the dura mater was reported, which showed that these tissues were regarded as different tissues.
Chronic subdural hematoma: surgical management in 133 patients.
TLDR
The high-risk groups of chronic subdural hematoma were those in Grades 3 and 4, bilateral hematomas, and the elderly, which seemed to be benefited by brain inflation and lumbar injections for intracranial hypotension.
The relationship of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging findings and closed system drainage in the recurrence of chronic subdural hematoma.
TLDR
Close system drainage significantly reduced the recurrence rate of CSDHs regardless of MR findings, and magnetic resonance T1-weighted imaging was useful in predicting the propensity of CS DHs to recur.
