    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Traumatology

    Background:

    • Chronic subdural hematoma (CSH) presents diagnostic challenges, particularly in elderly individuals.
    • Minor head trauma can precipitate CSH, often with delayed or subtle symptoms.

    Observation:

    • A case of CSH is presented following indirect cranial impact from a fall.
    • The patient's injury mechanism involved landing forcefully on their backside, leading to skull trauma.

    Findings:

    • CSH diagnosis in the elderly is complicated by seemingly minor head injuries.
    • Differential diagnosis must consider CSH alongside other conditions like pachymeningitis interna.

    Implications:

    • Increased clinical vigilance is required for head injuries in the elderly, even with minimal apparent trauma.
    • Accurate diagnosis of CSH is crucial for appropriate medical expert opinions and patient management.
