INTRODUCTION: Chronic Subdural Hematoma (CSDH) is a rare but classical evolutive
complication of arachnoid cysts (AC). Its management has rarely been evaluated
to date. Several approaches have been proposed including conservative and
surgical treatments. Endovascular treatment in such CSDH subtype remains poorly
reported.
CASE PRESENTATION: We present here an original case of a 16 years-old-boy
suffering from ruptured AC responsible for CSDH successfully treated with
embolization.
CONCLUSION: Endovascular approach may be considered in the treatment of CSDH
related to arachnoid cyst rupture.
