Unilateral cheiro-oral syndrome in a patient with bilateral subdural hematomas.
We report a 49-year-old man with acute intermittent perioral and distal hand sensory dysfunction on the left side (cheiro-oral syndrome). The responsible lesion was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging to be bilateral subdural hematomas with the larger side compressing the middle and lower thirds of the right postcentral gyrus. We emphasize that subdural hematoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cheiro-oral syndrome.
