Noncontrast computed tomography head revealing a hypodense collection of 1.5 cm thickness in the left fronto-temporoparietal region with areas of hyperdensity in the parietal region, suggestive of a predominant chronic subdural hematoma with an acute component. Significant mass effect resulting in compression of the ipsilateral lateral ventricle and midline shift of 4 mm to the right side was noted

Brain computed tomography (CT) showed in the left frontal-parietal area the presence of a subdural hematoma whose dimensions were about two centimeters with hyperdense components in the context of recent bleeding, significant flattening of the grooves adjacent cortical, with an initial compressive effect on the ventricular system and minimal midline shift (about 4 mm) to the right [Figure 1].
Computed tomography of the brain reveals complete resolution of the left frontoparietal subdural hematoma after 1 month. Computed tomography images shows reexpansion of brain parenchyma without any residual/recurrent subdural hematoma

The patient benefited from the proposed treatment, and the brain CT performed 1 month later showed the disappearance of the hematoma [Figure 2].
