چکیده
Although the literature records instances of acute epidural haematoma and acute subdural haematoma related to playing basketball, there has not been a report of chronic subdural haematoma as a basketball injury.

Such an injury, along with the diagnosis and management of this often insidious lesion, is documented in this case report. (Br J Sports Med 1998;32:338–339)
