Interhemispheric subdural hematomas are rare. Bilateral interhemispheric subdural hematomas in a patient with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt for hydrocephalus were diagnosed by computerized tomographic (CT) scan after mild head trauma.

Details of an operative approach for low-lying basilar aneurysms utilizing a combined supratentorial and infratentorial exposure with tentorial section are presented. This approach permitted the successful clipping of aneurysms of the caudal basilar artery in both of the cases presented. The advantages of this approach over the transclival, posterior fossa, and subtemporal approaches are discussed
