An unusual and interesting radiological picture of a case of bilateral chronic subdural hematoma is shown [Figure - 1]. The subdural hematoma was symmetrical in nature and compressed the brain into two broad and linear stripes. The hematoma extended into the interhemispheric region. The lateral ventricles on both sides were compressed uniformly. Although bilateral chronic subdural hematomas are relatively common, their presentation in such a symmetrical fashion is not recorded.
