Bilateral chronic subdural hematoma An unusual presentation with progressive spastic paraplegia
Journal Title: Αρχεία Ελληνικής Ιατρικής - Year 2012, Vol 29, Issue 5
Abstract
This is a case of progressive lower limb weakness in a 72-year-old man secondary to chronic bilateral subdural hematoma. This patient presented with a 3 week history of progressive difficulty in walking, with upper motor neuron signs but no sensory deficit. He had no significant risk factors for chronic subdural hematoma. Literature search revealed only one similar documented case of painless bilateral paraplegia secondary to chronic subdural hematoma, which, in contrast to this case, had fluctuating symptoms and signs.
