Abstract
Gonderilme tarihi: 25.04.2013 Kabul tarihi: 27.08.2013 Abstract Chronic subdural hematoma is predominantly a disease of the elderly and is rare in children. We report here a rare case of chronic subdural hematoma associated with arachnoid cyst in a 9-year-old child due to ball struck to his head while he was playing football. No altered mental state or focal neurological deficits were observed. The hematoma drainage was performed with one burr-hole. One week later, the patient was admitted to our clinic with complaint of scalp swelling. Physical examination revealed subcutaneous fluctuation beginning from the vertex. The authors reported a case of sports related chronic subdural hematoma in association with arachnoid cyst and a rare complication of subdural hematoma during postoperative period.
