A meningioma manifesting chronic subdural hematoma(SDH) is very rare. Although several reports have been presented, the mechanisms of chronic SDH formation in the presence of meningioma are not yet understood. A 71-year-old woman presented with 5-day history of headache and vomiting. There was no history of trauma and the patient was not on any anticoagulant therapy. On admission, the patient was alert and oriented. However, the patient became drowsy suddenly, with left hemiparesis(grade III). A noncontrast computed tomographic(CT) scan of the head revealed a right chronic SDH and subsequent magnetic resonance image(MRI) showed a right chronic SDH associated with an extraaxial and well enhancing mass in the right frontal convexity. Complete resection of the tumor as well as the removal of the chronic SDH was performed. Histological examination revealed an atypical meningioma with intratumoral hemorrhage. We describe a case of meningioma associated with chronic SDH and review the previous reports.
