Development of a delayed chronic subdural haematoma 3 years after traumatic brain injury with urinary incontinence: a case report.

Introduction: The authors present a case of a delayed chronic subdural haematoma, a rare occurrence that manifested 3 years after a traumatic brain injury, accompanied by an unexpected symptom of urinary incontinence. Chronic subdural haematoma (CSDH) is a well-known condition characterised by the accumulation of old, liquefied blood under the dura mater, usually following minor head trauma. However, the atypical presentation of CSDH in a young patient without predisposing factors and the association with urinary incontinence challenge conventional understanding.

Self-inflicted penetrating brain injuries with preserved neurological function: a case series.

Background: Penetrating trauma to the brain is a rare mode of self-harm in individuals with depressive psychosis. It may have variable presentations ranging from intact neurological status to non-survivable damage and the subjects may be surprisingly apathetic to pain. It is even unusual for such an injury to have an excellent prognosis despite coming late to clinical attention.
