ABSTRACT
Subdural haematoma (SDH) is characterized by bleeding into the sub dural space surrounding the brain. It is mostly associated with atraumatic brain injury. It usually results from tears in bridging veins that cross the subdural space. ESRD is a risk factor for SDH. Coagulation abnormalities, volume overload, haemodialysis and platelet dysfunction predispose to SDH in ESRD and increase the morbidity and mortality.1 We report a case of a 44-year-old female, a known case of chronic kidney disease on maintenance haemodialysis who developed SDH with resulting subfalcine herniation.
