Abstract
We report a case of bilateral chronic subdural hematoma (SDH) in a 48-year-old man, who presented with postural headaches, tinnitus and progressive confusion without intoxication, head trauma or abnormal hemostasis. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed cerebellar tonsillar herniation in the foramen magnum and a deformation of the brainstem. Outcome was normal after surgery. We discuss about the rare causes of SDH in young adults.
