AbstractIntracerebral hematoma is an unusual complication following surgical evacuation of chronic subdural hematoma. We report a case of 61-year-old patient operated at our department for a right-sided chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH), who presented with mild headache and left hemiparesis (4/5, Medical Research Council [MRC] grade). Postoperatively, the patient developed a small hematoma in ipsilateral frontal lobe. Serial computed tomography (CT) of the head showed progressive increase in size of hematoma with development of motor dysphasia. Frontal hematoma was evacuated by craniotomy and the patient improved in motor dysphasia. We emphasize the rarity of this complication and discuss the pathogenesis as well as management of this condition.

Abstract We report a rare case of chronic subdural hematoma complicated with a Giant subgaleal cerebrospinal fluid leakage. Physical examination was performed with no alteration in mental status and no focal neurological disorder. The subdural hematoma was drained and two weeks later, patient was admitted to our hospital with a giant scalp swelling. Physical examination revealed a left parietal subcutaneous collection. The patient was reoperated with a correction in the fistula, he presented a satisfactory postoperative evolution. To our knowledge, this is the first report in literature of a chronic subdural hematoma with a complicated giant subgaleal cerebrospinal fluid leakage.
