case_images: A computed tomography (CT) scan showed a thick, (2 cm in diameter) left-frontotemporal ASDH and a marked midline shift (fig. 1).
case_images: Intraoperative images. a ASDH is aspirated with a suction tube (arrow). b Bleeding from a thin artery on the brain surface (arrow). c Arterial bleeding is controlled with a suction tube (arrow). d Electric coagulation of the bleeding point (arrow).

case_images: Although a portion of the soft clot was hard, it could be removed easily with a suction tube (fig. 2a). We applied a suction tube to the bleeding point (fig. 2b, c) and coagulated it electrically (fig. 2d).
case_images: Postoperative CT scans demonstrating the reduction of the hematoma and improvement in the midline shift.
