Acute spontaneous subdural haematoma of arterial origin.
Spontaneous arterial subdural haematoma is arguably a rare condition. We report on three patients who presented with progressive neurological deficit or coma and who had been initially diagnosed as strokes. Explanations for the development of this condition are reviewed and it is suggested that it is not as rare as previously thought.
