Aspects of interhemispheric subdural haematoma, including the falx syndrome.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two cases of interhemispheric subdural haematoma are reported. The first patient presented with a falx syndrome of contralateral hemiparesis, most marked in the lower extremity. The second patient had vertex headaches and was diagnosed with computerised tomography. Serial studies suggested that the interhemispheric haematoma may have migrated to a lateral position over the cerebral convexity.

Bulging of a hemicranium and thinning of the temporal bone are encountered in some space-occupying processes, of neoplastic, or parasitic origin, in subdural hygromas, in infantile encephalopathies, etc., and always require supplementary investigations for their discovery and adequate surgical solution. In hygromas, there is a scarcity of neurological signs, and a slightly delayed psychical dev...
متن کاملInterhemispheric Acute Subdural Hematomas
Dear Editor, Acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) is a neurosurgical emergency. Interhemispheric acute subdural hematomas have been reported infrequently in the past. They are usually considered to be a distinct entity because of their unusual location and the fact that their management is still a matter of debate. The most common sites for ASDH are the fronto-parietal convexities and the middle cran...
