    Spontaneous subdural hematoma is rarer than literature suggests. Early CT scans are crucial for diagnosing this condition, which presents similar symptoms to other cerebrovascular events.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Spontaneous subdural hematoma (SSH) is considered a rare neurological condition.
    • Existing literature suggests SSH is infrequently encountered.
    • Clinical presentation of SSH often mimics other cerebrovascular lesions, complicating diagnosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a series of spontaneous subdural hematoma cases.
    • To re-evaluate the incidence of SSH based on modern diagnostic imaging.
    • To highlight the diagnostic utility of CT scans in identifying SSH.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of fifteen SSH cases.
    • Literature review on the rarity and presentation of SSH.
    • Analysis of computed tomography (CT) scan findings in patients with suspected stroke symptoms.

    Main Results:

    • Fifteen cases of SSH were identified and analyzed.
    • The study challenges the notion of SSH rarity, indicating it may be underdiagnosed.
    • CT scans proved effective in diagnosing SSH among patients with stroke-like symptoms.

    Conclusions:

    • Spontaneous subdural hematoma may be more common than previously reported.
    • Computed tomography is a vital tool for the early and accurate diagnosis of SSH.
    • Prompt diagnosis of SSH is critical, as mortality correlates with the patient's level of consciousness.
