Case History/Examination:
Herein, we present a rare case of spontaneous resolution of chronic
subdural hematoma after resetting the pressure of a programmable
ventricular peritoneal shunt in a 72-year-old male who developed normal
pressure hydrocephalus, for which he was treated with a VP shunt. A year
after shunting, the patient came back with signs and symptoms of chronic
subdural hematoma, and VP shunt pressure adjustment raised them from 100
to 150 mm of H2O as a result of this intervention. The hematoma was
successfully resolved, and the patient exhibited significant
improvement.
