Description
Summary:Highlights • Acute subdural hematoma is a common disease in neurosurgery. We must be aware of the differential diagnosis. • Dural fistulas can cause recurrent bleeding. Therefore, early diagnosis is the best way to prevent future problems. • Extensive investigation should be performed when the etiology of subdural hemorrhage is not clear. • Initial presentation of dural fistula as a subdural hemorrhage is a rare event.
