Summary

Idiopathic spontaneous subdural hemorrhage can present mildly in middle-aged adults, often with only headache. These cases suggest this condition may be underdiagnosed due to non-specific symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Idiopathic spontaneous subdural hemorrhage (ISDH) is typically associated with severe neurological deficits and poor prognosis.
  • Previous literature emphasizes the need for surgical intervention in most ISDH cases.

Observation:

  • Three middle-aged, previously healthy patients presented with ISDH.
  • The primary symptom was headache with minimal or no focal neurological signs.
  • All patients experienced resolution with conservative management.

Findings:

  • This case series suggests that mild, self-limiting ISDH can occur.
  • The non-specific presentation of headache may lead to underdiagnosis in this demographic.

Implications:

  • The findings challenge the traditional view of ISDH as uniformly severe.
  • Highlights the importance of considering ISDH in middle-aged patients presenting with unexplained headaches.
  • Suggests conservative management may be appropriate for select mild ISDH cases.
