Interhemispheric subdural hematoma, a rare head injury complication, presents with leg weakness. Conservative management is suitable for alert patients, while surgical intervention is needed for those with declining consciousness.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Neurosurgery
  • Trauma Care

Background:

  • Interhemispheric subdural hematoma (ISDH) is an exceptionally rare consequence of head trauma, with fewer than 100 documented cases since 1940.
  • The typical clinical manifestation involves contralateral leg weakness (monoparesis) or hemiparesis predominantly affecting the leg.

Observation:

  • This report details three adult cases of ISDH following closed head injuries.
  • A comprehensive review of existing literature was conducted to analyze therapeutic strategies.

Findings:

  • Conservative management, under close medical supervision, is a viable option for ISDH patients who remain conscious.
  • Surgical intervention is indicated for patients experiencing progressive neurological deterioration.

Implications:

  • These findings underscore the importance of vigilant monitoring in head injury patients presenting with specific neurological deficits.
  • The study contributes to understanding the management nuances of this rare neurosurgical condition, guiding treatment decisions based on patient consciousness and clinical progression.
