Abstract
MANY of the basic works in neurology comment on the rarity of seizures in chronic subdural hematoma.1 2 3 Indeed, it is almost a maxim in many neurologic centers that the two are only rarely associated. Recently, at the Boston City Hospital, several cases of chronic subdural hematoma have been seen in which seizures were a prominent part of the clinical picture. The seizures occurred as the initial symptom or the presenting complaint or after admission to the hospital. The present review was undertaken to elucidate the relation between chronic subdural hematoma and convulsive seizures in the cases at the Boston City . . .Keywords
