英文摘要 | A subdural hematoma (SDH) rarely presents as a transient neurological deficit. It might not be distinguished from transient ischemic attacks (TIA) using clinical picture. Since the treatment of patients with each of these two conditions is quite different, and antecedent head trauma might not be traceable, it is important to obtain brain imaging studies for each patient with suggested transient ischemic attacks. We present two middle-aged patients who were initially diagnosed with carotid TIA. SDH was demonstrated using brain computed tomography (CT) scan as a routine work-up for TIA, and was treated by drainage of the hematoma by burr hole surgery. Afterwards, neither patient has had further transient neurological deficits. We emphasize that SDH should be considered as a differential diagnosis of TIA, and brain CT scans should be done before initiating treatment. |
