Popis: Arachnoid cysts and chronic subdural hemorrhages are very common in brain surgeries. Our case, a 15-year-old male am- ateur footballer, was admitted t o our emergency unit following a minor blow. Clinical examinations found chronic subdural hemor- rhage associated with an arachnoid cyst. Chronic subdural hemor- rhage was drained using 2 burr holes and full recovery was achieved clinically. We present this case because there are rare reports of similar cases in the literature.
