Subdural hematoma is a rare cause of secondary parkinsonism. We report a 65-year-old woman with reversible parkinsonism due to bilateral chronic subdural hematomas. Symmetrical parkinsonism evolved acutely 45 days after a trivial head injury. Mild pyramidal signs were also present on her left side. MRI revealed bilateral chronic subdural hematomas. The patient's parkinsonism was completely abolished one month after successful neurosurgical evacuation of the hematomas.
A 25-year-old man presented with a 3-month history of gradually progressive right side hemiparkinsonism.
We describe a case with left hemiparkinsonism due to a parasagittal meningioma with surrounding edema compressing the right basal ganglia. The patient was successfully operated and his symptoms resolved completely. However 7 years later his hemiparkinsonism reappeared due to a relapse of the right parasagittal meningioma. This rare case points to the significance of neuroimaging in the evaluation of parkinsonism.
