Popis: Three cases of acute interhemispheric subdural hematomas, one of which bilateral, are reported. These are secondary to cranial traumatism and/or to treatment by anticoagulants and have stereotyped clinical signs. Following a lucid period, intracranial hypertension appears, then a sudden predominantly crural hemiparesis or even paraplegia. The aspects shown by computerized tomography are characteristic. The literature and our experience suggest that the best treatment is complete evacuation of the hematoma by craniotomy performed before alteration of consciousness.
