title: A rare case of chronic subdural haematoma presenting with paraparesis: A case report and review of literature.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a rare case of spontaneous chronic subdural haematoma presenting with paraparesis and to highlight that subdural haematoma as one of the differential diagnoses for unexplained paraparesis.
  
  
  BACKGROUND
  Chronic subdural haematoma is common in elderly people usually presenting with altered mental status, monoplegia, headache and seizure. But spontaneous chronic subdural haematoma resulting in paraparesis is not reported in the literature.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 58-year-old male patient presented with weakness of bilateral lower limbs and retention of urine and constipation. Patient was thoroughly evaluated and analysed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Spontaneous chronic subdural haematoma should be considered as one of the deferential diagnosis for paraparesis in elderly.
