Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Treatment basically depends on the amount of mass-effect & neurological impairment caused by the hematoma (its size). Symptomatic collections usually need to be surgically evacuated. If hematoma has not causes any mass effect or quantity is small then it is left to improve itself and symptomatic management is done.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
