Rapidly resolving acute subdural hematoma is a rare condition reported
infrequently in the literature. A 52 year old man presented with
head injury following a road traffic accident. He was drowsy arousable
with a GCS score of 13/15. His initial CT brain showed a 0.7mm thick
right frontoparietal acute SDH which was managed conservatively.
A repeat CT done after an interval of 48 hours showed complete resolution
of the Acute SDH with bilateral subdural hypodense collections.
He also had associated facial bone and ACF base fractures along
with CSF rhinorrhea. Brief review of the literature and possible
mechanisms of resolution are discussed.
