Review Case Reports
Acute subdural haematoma without subarachnoid haemorrhage caused by rupture of an internal carotid artery bifurcation aneurysm: case report and review of literature.
Spontaneous pure acute subdural haematoma (ASDH) without intraparenchymal or subarachnoid haemorrhage caused by a ruptured cerebral aneurysm is extremely rare. To our knowledge, the present case is the first report of an internal carotid artery bifurcation aneurysm presenting as pure ASDH. ⋯ Arterial origin of bleeding should be considered in all cases of non-traumatic ASDH and a vascular anomaly has to be excluded. The neurological status on admission dictates the appropriate timing and methodology of the neuroradiological investigations.

Review Case Reports
[A ruptured mycotic aneurysm, simultaneously associated with acute subdural hematoma and intracerebral hemorrhage: case report and review of the literature].
A case is reported of a patient with simultaneous subdural hematoma and intracerebral hemorrhage associated with a ruptured intracranial mycotic aneurysm. A 65-year-old woman, with a history of low grade fever for over a month, presented with disturbance of consciousness. A CT showed bilateral acute subdural hematomas and parenchymal hematomas in the occipital lobes. ⋯ The incidence of ruptured mycotic aneurysm presenting with acute subdural hematoma is extremely rare. To our knowledge, there have been only seven cases. The present case is discussed with reference to a review of the literature.

Review Case Reports
[A case of internal carotid-posterior communicating artery aneurysm presenting pure acute subdural hematoma].
The incidence of acute subdural hematoma (SDH) due to a ruptured intracranial aneurysm varies from 0.5% to 7.9% of all intracranial aneurysms. Pure acute SDH without subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is rare. According to the literature, only 18 cases (including our case) of pure acute SDH identified by CT scan have been reported. ⋯ The aneurysm was successfully clipped. Postoperatively, her consciousness improved immediately. In this case, the pure acute SDH identified by CT was responsible for causing the direct hemorrhage into the subdural space via an adhesive lesion.

Review Case ReportsPrimary low-grade B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue of the dura mimicking the presentation of an acute subdural hematoma. Case report and review of the literature.
The authors present the case of a 64-year-old woman who experienced a left hemiparesis. An initial diagnosis of subdural hematoma was made based on results of computerized tomography scanning. ⋯ The authors outline the natural history of central nervous system lymphomas and of MALT lymphomas in other tissues. They review seven previously reported cases and emphasize the importance of recognizing these tumors as a distinct clinicopathological entity.

Review Case Reports
[A ruptured distal aneurysm, thought to be a mycotic aneurysm, associated with acute subdural hematoma: case report and review of the literature].
A case is described of a ruptured intracranial mycotic aneurysm in the distal middle cerebral artery associated with an acute subdural hematoma. A 55-year-old woman, with a history of tuberculous meningitis at the age of 7, presented left hemiparesis. She was in a state of semi-coma. ⋯ The incidence of ruptured mycotic aneurysms presenting with acute subdural hematoma is extremely low. There have been only four previously reported cases as far as I can ascertain. This case and a review of the literature are discussed.
