Background: Subdural hematoma is very often associated with head trauma. There are few documented cases of spontaneous acute subdural hematoma without a history of Case presentation: A 50-year-old man was admitted for a mild-intensity headache in helmet-like, which occurred in the night without any cause waking him up from his sleeping. He denied any drug taken, mainly anticoagulant, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The neurological exam was absolutely normal. The head CT Scan performed showed a thick left fronto-temporal spontaneous acute subdural hematoma The blood investigations were normal. Brain angio-CT didn’t show any The patient benefited fromconservative treatment under observation and experienced a progressive regression of the headache throughout the hospitalization stay. He was discharged an eleventh day later. Conclusion: Spontaneous acute subdural hematoma is a rare entity. It requires painstaking clinical, biological, and imaging and a strict follow-up for its management.

Introduction: Sickle cell disease and thalassemia are the most frequent hemoglobinopathies. During their evolution, they present certain complications, among which are two neurosurgical emergencies, namely spontaneous cranial epidural hematoma and non traumatic radiculo-medullary compression, with some particularities for each. Method: In order to highlight these particularities, we compared the characteristics of these two complications, from a number of publications reported between 2000 and 2021. Results: Sickle cell disease was complicated by spontaneous cranial epidural hematoma. Forty-two cases were reported, the mean age was 14.7 years (2 -21 years) and the sex ratio was 6.4. The clinical presentation combined, in a non-traumatic context, signs of intracranial hypertension with those of neurological focalization. Neuroimaging showed epidural-type collection, often frontal and parietal in location. The incriminating mechanisms were ischemia, hemorrhage and extra medullary hematopoiesis. The treatment was surgical. Non traumatic radiculo-medullary was the complication of thalassemia. Of the 77 cases reported, the mean age was 27.5 years (9 -66 years) and the sex ratio was 4.1. The lesions were epidural with a clear thoracic predominance and resulted from extra marrow hematopoiesis. Treatment included: hypertransfusion, radiotherapy, hydroxyurea and surgery. Vital and functional prognosis were globally satisfactory when the management was rapid. Conclusion: Cranial and spinal epidural lesions, respective complications of sickle cell disease and thalassemia, result from similar mechanisms. Their prognosis depends on the rapidity of management.
