    Chronic subdural hematoma can mimic transient ischemic attacks due to various mechanisms. Computer-assisted tomography is recommended for accurate diagnosis and differentiation.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) are often diagnosed based on clinical presentation.
    • Chronic subdural hematomas (CSDHs) can present with diverse neurological symptoms.

    Observation:

    • A case of CSDH presenting with recurrent neurological dysfunction mimicking TIAs is reported.
    • The patient experienced episodes suggestive of TIA.

    Findings:

    • CSDH can lead to TIA-like symptoms through mechanisms such as focal ischemia, epileptic discharges, cortical depression, or cerebral edema.
    • Differential diagnosis between CSDH and TIA is crucial.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should consider CSDH in the differential diagnosis of recurrent TIA-like episodes.
