Abstract：
:Primary malignant brain tumors present a formidable challenge to surgeons, patients, and families. Although the prognosis in elderly patients approaches only 6 months, aggressive resection and adjuvant treatment may be indicated in a select group of patients who have preserved functional status. Subdural hematomas in the geriatric population usually are chronic. Patients often benefit from evacuation but their advanced age and significant comorbidities often increase perioperative morbidity and mortality. Minimally invasive evacuation, possibly under local anesthesia, often is indicated as an initial treatment.
