Primary subdural lymphoma mimicking chronic subdural hematoma: a case report and a narrative review of some recent similar cases in the literature.
Article in International journal of emergency medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundChronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a common condition in elderly patients, typically diagnosed through neuroimaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Cases of subdural lymphoma mimicking chronic subdural hematoma are exceedingly rare and present significant diagnostic challenges for emergency physicians. CASE PRESENTATION: A 71-year-old female patient with subdural lymphoma was initially diagnosed with CSDH based on her medical history, clinical presentation, and neuroimaging findings. However, postoperative pathology revealed diffuse subdural lymphoma. Although the patient's symptoms initially improved following standard lymphoma treatment, the disease recurred within 14 months of follow-up. The patient ultimately succumbed to malignant intracranial hypertension 15 months after discharge.
conclusionsThis article discusses the neuroimaging findings, histological features, and treatment strategies of this case, while reviewing the limited number of similar cases reported since 2000. Based on the diagnostic and therapeutic experience of this case, it is recommended that when a patient's clinical presentation deviates from that of typical chronic subdural hematoma, supplementary MRI with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) should be considered to aid in differential diagnosis.
