Hématome sous-dural chronique et décompensation psychotique

It appears from this case and review of the literature that various psychiatric manifestations may reveal an HSDC and that, in the elderly, neuroimaging should be systematic, even for minor symptoms. The total resorption led to the disappearance of psychiatric symptoms in most patients, but this remains a topic of discussion for patients who retain residual symptoms, even after resorption of the mass. Caution is required when faced with an elderly person suffering, and we should strive to explore all possible causes before jumping to the conclusion of the fatality of growing old.
