Bilateral Interhemispheric Subdural Hematomas

Abstract

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. The value of CT scanning, the clinical presentation and treatment, and a review of the literature are presented.
