Methods: Through a 2- year retrospective study, patients operated for acute subdural hematoma in Qazvin Rajaee hospital were evaluated, and survived ones were followed up (1998-2000). Findings: 609 patients with moderate to severe head trauma were admitted in Rajaee hospital, of which 63 patients were operated for acute subdural hematoma and 23 patients survived .
