  • Title: Spontaneous bilateral subdural haematomas in the posterior cranial fossa revealed by MRI.
    Author: Pollo C, Meuli R, Porchet F.
    Journal: Neuroradiology; 2003 Aug; 45(8):550-2. PubMed ID: 12761603.
    Abstract:
    A 52-year-old woman treated for acute myeloproliferative disease developed progressive stupor. CT showed obstructive hydrocephalus resulting from unexplained mass effect on the fourth ventricle. MRI revealed bilateral extra-axial collections in the posterior cranial fossa, giving high signal on T1- and T2-weighted images, suggesting subacute subdural haematomas. Subdural haematomas can be suspected on CT when there is unexplained mass effect. MRI may be essential to confirm the diagnosis and plan appropriate treatment.
