What happen if someone delayed his subdural hematoma surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Serious consequence.: Depending on the size this could have very serious consequences including permanent brin damage and death. You need to listen to the advice of the neurologist and neuro surgeon. They spent most of their young lives learning how to treat these life threatening conditions.
