Abstract

The aim was to emphasize that changes in the consciousness table in a patient with traumatic border line subduralhematoma may depend not only on hematoma but also on hyponatremia. Our patient was a 60 year old, confused. The patient had  borderline subduralhematoma and deep hyponatremia. The patient was followed up with clinical, radiological and laboratory findings. Consciousness was totally opened by the treatment of hyponatremia. Inconclusion, if the patient has border line subduralhematoma, we should not be rushed for surgery. Insuch patients, urgent electroly teevaluationse specially for hyponatremia should be done first, and this should be corrected.
