Imterhemispheric Subdural Hematoma

ABSTRACT

Subdural hematoma in the interhemispheric space is a rare entity. The authors present a case of subdural hematoma in the left interhemispheric space caused by head injury with the characteristic presenting symptom of right hemiparesis, worse in the lower than the upper extremity. Computerized tomography (CT) is the preferred diagnostic procedure and thevcoronal section delineates the extent of hematoma more clearly. It is best treated by osteoplastic craniotomy. Anatomical considerations, clinical features, value of CT scanning, recommended surgical technique, and review of the literature are presented.
