Description
Blood collections under the skull lining are rare at the back of the head, near the cerebellum, and they can squeeze vital structures. Domagoj Dlaka and co-authors report a case where such collections on both sides blocked fluid flow in the brain. Their patient, a seventy-one-year-old man, arrived with unsteady walking and a lowered awareness score.
Scans showed one collection above and two below, pressing on the cerebellum, brainstem, and a fluid channel. Surgeons drained the lower pair through two small holes in the back of the skull. Recovery ran smoothly, with scans later clear and no new deficits. The 2023 report urges timely surgery over fluid shunts.
