Abstract

A novel complication of the illicit use of cocaine, a spontaneous acute subdural hematoma, is described. This case represents another addition to the growing literature on the negative effects of cocaine on the central nervous system. Photographic documentation of the lesion responsible for the hematoma is presented, along with a discussion of the possible pathophysiologic mechanism.
