A case is reported in which chronic subdural haematoma developed in association with a glioma of the left temporal lobe. The stroke-like onset of symptoms one month before surgical intervention, encapsulated liquid subdural haematoma, necrotic cerebral cortex over the tumour and easily bleeding peripheral parts of the tumour suggested a primary haemorrhage into the peripheral part of the tumour followed by penetration of the haematoma into the subdural space.
