Background: Acute spontaneous spinal subdural hematoma associated with subacute cranial subdural hematoma is a rare entity. There is no precise age of presentation, and there is a slight female predominance. Origin is primary or secondary to hematologic factors or vascular and iatrogenic procedures. The main symptom is motor deficit in 57% of the cases. Surgical treatment is warranted only with neurological deficits., Clinical Case: We present the case of a 44-year-old male with severe headache and diagnosis of subacute frontoparietotemporal subdural hematoma and signs of lumbar radiculopathy. Prognosis is proportional to the initial neurologic deficit., Conclusions: Patients with cranial subdural hematoma who develop neurological symptoms in the lower extremities should have magnetic resonance imaging study to rule out spinal subdural hematoma.

Background: Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign expansible cystic lesion most often occuring during the second decade of life. It may occur in any bone in the body. The etiology and pathophysiology remain unclear. Treatment has been intralesional curettage. Spontaneous regression is not common. Other surgical options have been suggested., Clinical Case: We describe the case of an 8-year-old asymptomatic patient with spontaneous regression of a frontal aneurysmal bone cyst in a 4-month period., Conclusions: In the diagnosed cases of ABC on the skull it is important to establish differential diagnosis with benign and malignant bone tumors like giant cell tumors. In order to obtain precise information on cases with spontaneous regression, serial radiological studies previous to surgery should be performed in asymptomatic patients.
