The chronic subdural haematomas in this patient may have been due to rupture of bridging veins caused by a very mild trauma not noticed by the patient and possibly aggravated by the anticoagulation therapy. Infratentorial chronic subdural haematoma should at least be a part of the differential diagnosis in elderly patients with cerebellar and vestibular symptomatology even without a history of trauma.

The Neurovent-P ICP measuring system is a safe and reliable tool for ICP monitoring. Handling of the Neurovent-P system is safe when performed properly.

We describe a subacute intracranial subdural haematoma following lumbar myelography. This rare but potentially life-threatening complication has been reported both after lumbar myelography and following lumbar puncture for spinal anaesthesia. We review 16 previously reported cases of intracranial haemorrhage following lumbar myelography, and discuss the pathogenesis. In all reported cases post-puncture headache was the leading symptom and should therefore be regarded as a warning sign.

3.0T TOF-MRA offers superior characterization of AVM angioarchitecture compared with 1.5T TOF-MRA. The image quality of MRA at both 3.0 and 1.5T is still far from equal to DSA, which remains the gold standard for characterization of AVM.
