Abstract Background: Intracranial hemorrhagic complications are unusual after diagnostic lumbar puncture. Case report: A diagnostic lumbar puncture was performed in a 55 year-old male for acute bacterial meningitis workup. Immediately after the procedure he developed intense headache and a head Computed Tomography (CT) was done which identified an acute subdural fluid collection. No surgical management was offered and conservative medical follow-up was indicated. Conclusion: The occurrence of a headache with red flags after a lumbar puncture may suggest the possibility of an acute subdural hematoma.

Abstract An infant who suffered acute subdural hematoma due to minor head trauma twice in a short period is presented. Each subdural hematoma, showing high density on computed tomographic scanning, resolved with unusual rapidity, resulting in full recovery after nonsurgical management. The mechanism of this rapid resolution of each hematoma was thought to be participation of cerebrospinal fluid secondary to a tearing of the arachnoid membrane.
