  • Title: [Pure motor hemiparesis secondary to chronic subdural hematoma with total recovery through medical treatment].
    Author: Arboix A, Massons J, Oliveres M, Titus F.
    Journal: Rev Clin Esp; 1993 May; 192(9):433-6. PubMed ID: 8516509.
    Abstract:
    We discuss in this paper the cases of two patients with pure motor hemiparesis which were secondary to chronic subdural hematoma who evolved satisfactorily only with medical treatment. Of 1,000 consecutive patients with cerebro-vascular pathology admitted in our Neurology Department in the last 5 years, said two patients were the only ones (0.2%) in whom the lacunar syndrome "pure motor hemiparesis" was secondary to a chronic subdural hematoma. Such cases show that a subdural hematoma can manifest itself as a lacunar syndrome and that in selected cases the medical treatment of chronic subdural hematoma can yield goods results.
