We reported a case of a lady with learning disability presenting with neuropsychiatric symptoms who was found to have an acute-on-chronic subdural he...

Head injury is one of the leading causes of death and disability in traumatic accidents. Post-operative contralateral epidural hematomas after surgery for acute subdural hematoma seem to be rare. In this case, expansion and spontaneous resolution of a fractural epidural hematoma contralateral to the side of acute subdural hematoma is presented. The importance of immediate post-operative compute...

Originally, all acute subdural hematomas were thought to be hyperdense with respect to brain on CT (1 ).

Although contrast-enhanced CT has aided in the visualization of chronic isodense subdural hematomas [7), the use of contrast material was not efficacious in two of the acute isod...

We report a case of a cerebral aneurysm arising from the bifurcation of the left middle cerebral artery that ruptured into a left middle cranial fossa arachnoid cyst, associated with acute subdural hematoma. We discuss the relationships of aneurysm, arachnoid cyst, and subdural hematoma.
