  • Title: [Chronic subdural hematoma simulating transient ischemic attacks].
    Author: Friedrich I, Mader R, Kaplan CB, Schonfeld S.
    Journal: Harefuah; 1989 Apr 16; 116(8):413-4. PubMed ID: 2744648.
    Abstract:
    Chronic subdural hematoma presenting as transient ischemic attacks (TIA) is very rare. In a 74-year-old man in whom chronic subdural hematoma was responsible for recurrent attacks of local neurological deficiencies, the diagnosis was established by computerized tomographic (CT) scanning. Both TIA and chronic subdural hematoma usually occur in the elderly. Since the prognosis as well as the therapeutic approach are completely different in the 2 conditions, it is advisable to use imaging techniques, such as CT scanning, when there are recurrent TIA.
