A DUAL NEUROLOGICAL INSULT: IPSILATERAL SUBACUTE SUBDURAL HEMATOMA AND ISCHEMIC STROKE IN AN ELDERLY PATIENT WITH CONTRALATERAL WEAKNESS.
This case report discusses a rare occurrence of simultaneous subacute subdural hematoma (SDH) and ischemic stroke in a 95-year-old male patient with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The patient presented with contralateral weakness and a series of diagnostic challenges. This report underscores the complexities in the diagnosis and management of these concurrent neurological insults. A detailed analysis of the clinical findings, treatment strategies, and prognostic considerations is provided, with reference to existing literature on similar cases.
