    Acute interhemispheric subdural hematomas, often linked to head trauma or anticoagulants, present with distinct neurological signs. Prompt surgical evacuation via craniotomy before consciousness loss is recommended for optimal outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Acute interhemispheric subdural hematomas are rare but serious conditions.
    • These hematomas can arise secondary to cranial trauma or anticoagulant therapy.
    • Understanding their unique presentation is crucial for timely diagnosis and intervention.

    Observation:

    • Three cases of acute interhemispheric subdural hematomas, including one bilateral case, were analyzed.
    • Patients exhibited a characteristic clinical progression: a lucid interval followed by signs of increased intracranial pressure.
    • Neurological deficits, such as hemiparesis or paraplegia, developed rapidly.

    Findings:

    • Computerized tomography (CT) scans revealed characteristic imaging patterns for these hematomas.

  • The clinical signs associated with these hematomas were found to be stereotyped.
  • A strong correlation between anticoagulant use/trauma and hematoma development was noted.

    • Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are critical for managing interhemispheric subdural hematomas.
    • Complete hematoma evacuation through craniotomy, performed prior to significant neurological decline, appears to be the most effective treatment.
    • These findings underscore the importance of prompt neurosurgical consultation in patients presenting with relevant risk factors and neurological symptoms.
