A case is reported of a patient with simultaneous subdural hematoma and intracerebral hemorrhage associated with a ruptured intracranial mycotic aneurysm. A 65-year-old woman, with a history of low grade fever for over a month, presented with disturbance of consciousness. A CT showed bilateral acute subdural hematomas and parenchymal hematomas in the occipital lobes. ⋯ The incidence of ruptured mycotic aneurysm presenting with acute subdural hematoma is extremely rare. To our knowledge, there have been only seven cases. The present case is discussed with reference to a review of the literature.
