A 10-month-old male with glutaric aciduria type-1 (GA-1) is reported. This patient showed frequent partial motor seizures, irritability, and involuntary movements, including oral dyskinesia at the age of 3 months. On admission, magnetic resonance (MR) scanning revealed a chronic subdural hematoma and widening of the bilateral insular cisterns. Urine organic acid analysis showed marked excretion of glutaric acid, 3-hydroxy glutaric acid and glutaconic acid, suggesting GA-1. Removal of the subdural hematoma was effective for the irritability but not for the extrapyramidal signs. This is the first report of a subdural hematoma as an initial symptom in a patient with GA-1. However, the complication of subdural fluid collection in GA-1 is not rare. To our knowledge, of 29 patients with GA-1 who underwent computed tomographic or MR scans, 5 had subdural fluid collection. Disproportional hypoplasia of the temporal lobes may be a suggestive etiology of subdural fluid collection/chronic subdural hematoma.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon

D006408 Hematoma, Subdural Accumulation of blood in the SUBDURAL SPACE between the DURA MATER and the arachnoidal layer of the MENINGES. This condition primarily occurs over the surface of a CEREBRAL HEMISPHERE, but may develop in the spinal canal (HEMATOMA, SUBDURAL, SPINAL). Subdural hematoma can be classified as the acute or the chronic form, with immediate or delayed symptom onset, respectively. Symptoms may include loss of consciousness, severe HEADACHE, and deteriorating mental status.
