Introduction: Chronic Subdural Hematoma (CSDH) is a rare but classical evolutive complication of arachnoid cysts (AC). Its management has rarely been evaluated to date. Several approaches have been proposed including conservative and surgical treatments. Endovascular treatment in such CSDH subtype remains poorly reported.

Conclusion: Endovascular approach may be considered in the treatment of CSDH related to arachnoid cyst rupture.Read less <
