Hemiparesis is a major symptom of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). Its severity does not always correlate with hematoma size. The authors analyzed hematoma thickness, pressure, and tension to clarify the mechanism of hemiparesis in CSDH patients. ⋯ Tension is the most influencing factor to hemiparesis in CSDH patients. This study also elucidates the mechanism for quick recovery from hemiparesis after surgery in that tension on the motor cortex is decreased immediately by drainage.

Case Reports
A delayed-onset intracranial chronic subdural hematoma following a lumbar spinal subdural hematoma: A case report.
A spinal subdural hematoma (SDH) is rarely complicated with an intracranial SDH. We found only 7 cases of spontaneous concurrent lumbar spinal and cranial SDHs, in which lumbar symptoms occurred before head symptoms. ⋯ It is important to consider the possibility of intracranial hemorrhage when a spinal SDH is identified.

Case Reports
Synchronous Diagnosis of Intradiploic Epidermoid Cyst and Anatomically Close Associated Chronic Epidural Hematoma.
Intradiploic epidermoid cyst (IEC) concurrent with chronic epidural hematoma (CEDH) has never been reported in the literature. We report a unique case of IEC concurrent with anatomically close associated CEDH. ⋯ Intradiploic epidermoid cyst concurrent with chronic epidural hematoma is extremely rare. We present the first case of intradiploic epidermoid cyst concurrent with anatomically close associated chronic epidural hematoma.

Case Reports
A rare case of deep cerebral venous thrombosis secondary to traumatic epidural hematoma: Case report.
Deep cerebral venous thrombosis (DCVT) is a rare disease, but always results in poor prognosis. ⋯ If the CT shows hypodense areas in bilateral thalami and basal ganglia, a diagnosis of DCVT should be suspected once the patients could not recover from the treatment of primary diseases.
