  • Title: Chronic subdural hematoma mimicking transient ischemic attacks.
    Author: Russell NA, Goumnerova L, Atack EA, Atack DM, Benoit BG.
    Journal: J Trauma; 1985 Nov; 25(11):1113-4. PubMed ID: 4057306.
    Abstract:
    A case is reported in which a chronic subdural hematoma caused recurrent episodes of neurologic dysfunction that simulated transient ischemic attacks. Possible pathophysiological mechanisms are: a subdural hematoma could cause local ischemia or focal epileptic discharges; a cerebral mass could cause cortical depression by mechanical stimulation; regional cerebral edema could cause vascular displacement and ischemia; or small repeated hemorrhages could cause transient neurologic deficits. Computer assisted tomography of the head is recommended in the differentiation of the two conditions.
