This report presents a 76-year-old male patient who developed indolent right-sided upper and lower extremity weakness and low back pain following a fall that resulted in no trauma and was not prompted by syncope or vertigo. Imaging revealed a chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) with midline shift, for which the patient underwent craniotomy and middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization. Despite initial intervention, the patient experienced rare and severe complications, including the recurrence of a subdural hematoma (SDH), the development of an epidural hematoma, and frontal lobe herniation.

Gravity, an invisible but constant force , challenges the regulation of blood pressure when transitioning between postures. As physiological reserve diminishes with age, individuals grow more susceptible to such stressors over time, risking inadequate haemodynamic control observed in orthostatic hypotension. This prevalent condition is characterized by drops in blood pressure upon standing; however, the contrary phenomenon of blood pressure rises has recently piqued interest.
