Chronic Subdural Hematoma Presenting with Kernohan-Woltman Notch Phenomenon: A Case Report

Highlights

  • Kernohan-Woltman notch phenomenon (KWNP) is defined as compression of the cerebral peduncle against the tentorial edge caused by the displacement of the brain tissue at the ipsilateral side of the paradoxically supratentorial-localized lesion such that it may lead to hemiparesis or hemiplegia and mydriasis [1]

  • The development of Kernohan-Woltman Notch Phenomenon (KWNP) secondary to acute on chronic subdural hematomas has been rarely reported and there is no reported case from Ghana where this case is being reported from

Summary

Introduction

Kernohan-Woltman notch phenomenon (KWNP) is defined as compression of the cerebral peduncle against the tentorial edge caused by the displacement of the brain tissue at the ipsilateral side of the paradoxically supratentorial-localized lesion such that it may lead to hemiparesis or hemiplegia and mydriasis [1]. This phenomenon is usually reported secondary to brain tumors and severe head injuries [2]. The development of KWNP secondary to acute on chronic subdural hematomas has been rarely reported and there is no reported case from Ghana where this case is being reported from.
