Abstract :Parafalcine subdural hemorrhage was first described by Arring and Evans in 1940 as an atypical localization. On the other hand, it has become more recognized due to the widespread availability of computed tomography since that day. Hemorrhages in the parafalcine region constitute 9-15% of all blunt trauma-induced intracranial hemorrhages. Although small amounts of parafalcine hemorrhages are benign, mortality is high in hemorrhages with high volume bleeding and high convexity.
