[Psychopathologic findings in subdural hematoma--consultation psychiatry as applied neuropsychiatry].
In the era of powerful neuroimaging devices, such as CCT and NMR, the diagnosis of intracranial mass lesions has been increasingly improved. Nevertheless, there are still delays in the detection of such disorders. Two case reports of patients with subdural haematoma are presented, in which the usefulness of a thorough psychopathological examination and the possible contribution of psychiatric consultation, understood as practical neuropsychiatry, in the detection of such disorders is demonstrated.
