The interhemispheric subdural hematoma (ISH) is a special subdural hematoma with regard to both location and symptomatology. The most widely described clinical signs and symptoms associated with an ISH are a lucid interval and the falx syndrome. The latter is featured by a contralateral hemiparesis that is accentuated in the lower extremity but spares the face. Minor head trauma or a preexisting coagulation disorder are also often found. Nonsurgical treatment should be chosen in patients with little neurologic dysfunction and a stable clinical course. Patients with progressive neurologic deterioration and focal neurologic deficits should be operated on without delay. This article provides a review of 99 published cases of ISH and adds 3 cases to the existing literature.

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.
