Parkinsonism due to chronic subdural hematoma.
A 75-year-old male presented with bilateral parkinsonism due to chronic subdural hematoma. The hematoma was removed through a small craniotomy. The parkinsonism rapidly improved following operation, suggesting a strong relationship between the hematoma and parkinsonism. We recommend surgical intervention in such cases.
