Abstrakt: Background: Intracystic hematoma in arachnoid cyst are a very rare pathology that commonly occurs after head trauma, while spontaneous intracystic hematomas in arachnoid cyst associated with subdural hematoma is extremely rare. Currently there are 33 patients of spontaneous intracystic hematomas in arachnoid cyst reported in the literature. In this case report we present an adult patient with concomitant chronic subdural hematoma with intracystic hematoma in arachnoid cyst.
Case Presentation: A 19-year-old Egyptian Arabian female patient presented to the outpatient clinic complaining of severe headache of 1-month duration that was progressive in nature. Provisionally, it was thought that it might be an arachnoid cyst with associated chronic subdural hematoma along with intracystic hematoma. Decision to proceed with craniotomy and cyst evacuation was made.
Conclusion: Concomitant intracystic hematoma in arachnoid cyst along with subdural hematoma is a serious condition that might be life-threatening if not well managed.
