    Traumatic interhemispheric subdural hematomas can cause rapid deterioration and death, even with prompt surgical intervention. Computerized axial tomography (CT) is crucial for diagnosing these critical brain injuries.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Neuroradiology
    • Traumatic Brain Injury

    Background:

    • Traumatic interhemispheric subdural hematomas are rare but potentially fatal brain injuries.
    • Typical presentations involve a subacute course with lower-extremity monoparesis.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of traumatic interhemispheric subdural hematoma are presented.
    • One patient had combined convexity and parasagittal hematomas; the other had an extensive interhemispheric hematoma.
    • Both patients experienced rapid neurological decline within 24-48 hours post-injury.

    Findings:

    • Despite prompt surgical treatment, both patients died.
    • Computerized axial tomography (CT) effectively diagnosed the hematomas and their extent.
    • CT imaging also identified associated lesions.

    Implications:

    • This study highlights the aggressive and often unpredictable clinical course of traumatic interhemispheric subdural hematomas.
    • Early and accurate diagnosis via CT is vital for surgical planning.
    • Further research into the pathophysiology and management of these injuries is warranted.
