Spontaneous subdural haematoma in a healthy young male

A subdural haematoma without a history of trauma or vascular malformation is rare, indeed, in a young healthy individual. The following report describes a case of a 37 year old man with rare but recognised cause of subdural haematoma. His symptoms and assessment are discussed…anyone working in acute medicine, surgery or general practice might be faced with exactly the same scenario. The literature about this rare aetiology is reviewed…a truly educational report.
