    BackgroundAcute spontaneous spinal subdural hematoma associated with subacute cranial subdural hematoma is a rare entity. There is no precise age of presentation, and there is a slight female predominance. Origin is primary or secondary to hematologic factors or vascular and iatrogenic procedures. The main symptom is motor deficit in 57% of the cases. Surgical treatment is warranted only with neurological deficits.Clinical CaseWe present the case of a 44-year-old male with severe headache and diagnosis of subacute frontoparietotemporal subdural hematoma and signs of lumbar radiculopathy. Prognosis is proportional to the initial neurologic deficit.ConclusionsPatients with cranial subdural hematoma who develop neurological symptoms in the lower extremities should have magnetic resonance imaging study to rule out spinal subdural hematoma.
