Acute interhemispheric subdural hematoma is an unusual condition, where hemiparesis, more severe in the lower limb, or monoparesis of the lower limb can be found on the contralateral side of the hematoma. This falx syndrome has been regarded as being pathognomonic for interhemispheric subdural hematoma. We encountered a 52-year-old female who did not show falx syndrome and recovered without a craniotomy and hence, accentuates the significance of a direction of head trauma, a careful neurological examination and serial follow-up CT (computed tomography).
