    Chronic subdural hematoma is a rare cause of recurrent transient ischemic attacks (TIA) in the elderly. Prompt diagnosis with CT scans is crucial for appropriate treatment and improved outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Geriatrics

    Background:

    • Transient ischemic attacks (TIA) are common in the elderly, often associated with cerebrovascular disease.
    • Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is also prevalent in older adults, typically presenting with non-specific symptoms.
    • The presentation of CSDH as TIA is exceptionally rare, posing diagnostic challenges.

    Observation:

    • A 74-year-old male presented with recurrent episodes of focal neurological deficits mimicking TIAs.
    • Initial assessments did not immediately suggest CSDH as the underlying cause.
    • Computerized tomographic (CT) scanning was instrumental in revealing the presence of a chronic subdural hematoma.

    Findings:

    • The chronic subdural hematoma was identified as the cause of the patient's transient ischemic attack-like symptoms.

  • The diagnosis was confirmed through neuroimaging, specifically CT scanning.
  • This case highlights an unusual etiology for recurrent neurological events in an elderly patient.

    • Implications:

    • Recognizing CSDH as a potential cause of recurrent TIAs is critical for accurate diagnosis.
    • Neuroimaging, such as CT scans, should be considered in elderly patients with recurrent TIAs, even with atypical presentations.
    • Timely diagnosis and surgical intervention for CSDH can significantly alter patient prognosis compared to managing presumed cerebrovascular events.
