Acquisition of a chronic subdural haematoma during training for competitive race walking?
A 65 year old man, anticoagulated for cardiac problems, developed hemiparesis while training for race walking. A computed tomography scan showed a chronic subdural haematoma. This is the first report of a chronic subdural haematoma possibly caused by the jarring action of race walking.
