In order to estimate the contribution of platelet-activating factor (PAF) to the formation of chronic subdural haematomas (CSH), we measured plasma PAF and anti-PAF antibody levels in head-injured patients with and without CSH and normal volunteers. Plasma PAF and anti-PAF IgG levels were higher in patients with CSH than in patients without CSH or in normal volunteers. Furthermore, plasma PAF and anti-PAF IgG levels increased in a time-dependent manner over the first 35 days following head injury. These data suggest that PAF may be involved in the generation of CSH.
