Arterial origin subdural hematoma and associated pial pseudoaneurysm following minor head trauma.
The vast majority of primary acute subdural hematomas following trauma are venous in origin. We report a very rare case of a primary acute subdural hematoma following minor head trauma that was arterial in origin and was associated with a pial cortical branch pseudoaneurysm. The patient was managed conservatively, and follow-up imaging demonstrated complete resolution of both lesions.
