Abstract

Chronic subdural hematoma manifests differently and may mimic the
presentation of psychiatric illnesses. Many a time, physicians are quick to
judge that new onset of psychiatric symptoms is due to the worsening of the
existing psychiatric illness. We reported a case of a lady with learning
disability presenting with neuropsychiatric symptoms who was found to have
an acute-on-chronic subdural hematoma. We discussed regarding the new
onset of neuropsychiatric features seen in patients with chronic subdural
hematoma and its management.
