    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Neurology
    • Trauma Care

    Background:

    • Interhemispheric subdural hematoma (ISH) is a rare but serious consequence of head trauma.
    • Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial for patient outcomes.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with seizures and altered mental status following a closed head injury.
    • Cranial computed tomography (CT) revealed increased density consistent with ISH along the falx cerebri and tentorium cerebelli.

    Findings:

    • The reported case of ISH was successfully managed conservatively, leading to patient recovery.
    • Comparison with ten other ISH cases indicated head injury as the primary cause.
    • Common clinical presentations include confusion, lethargy, and a 'falx syndrome' with delayed neurological deficits.

    Implications:

    • Conservative management is a viable option for select ISH cases.
    • Understanding the 'falx syndrome' aids in early diagnosis and intervention.
    • This case contributes to the understanding of ISH etiology and treatment strategies.
