Abstract

Acute subdural hemorrhages are a common emergency presentation often associated with trauma. However, in the absence of significant trauma, it is important to consider alternative causes. In this case, a 58-year-old woman with trivial trauma after a sudden collapse had bilateral subdural hemorrhages on CT. CT-angiogram revealed anterior communicating artery aneurysm, which had ruptured. This case explores intracerebral aneurysms as a rare cause of subdural hemorrhage that is important to consider in the absence of significant trauma.
