[Primary brain tumor as a rare cause of acute subdural hematoma].
The aim of the study is to present a case report describing patient, admitted for subdural haematoma located on temporal lobe base and brain convexity with intracerebral haematoma located in the depth of temporal lobe. Both haematomas were evacuated from burr holes. Histological analysis of tissue obtained during intracerebral haematoma aspiration has proven tumorous tissue consistent with anaplastic astrocytoma. Contrast enhanced MRI has confirmed the diagnosis and patient underwent tumor surgery. The study brings additional data to differential diagnosis of subdural haematoma, especially of non traumatic origin. When compared with meningiomas and metastatic tumors primary brain glioma is an exceptional cause of subdural haematoma of non traumatic origin.
