Resumen

The spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage associated with cerebral tumors constitutes a rare event. The isolated spontaneous subdural hematoma related to a cerebral tumor represents an even more striking condition. Some hypotheses have been formulated to attempt to explain the occurrence of the spontaneous hemorrhages associated with intracranial meningiomas, but there is no consensus on its formation. We report on a case of a male patient presenting intense headache, without traumatic brain injury history, in which investigation showed an intracranial meningioma associated to a spontaneous subdural hematoma. He was submitted to a cranial surgery, presenting good recovery. We also perform a brief review on the theme.
