Abstract | BACKGROUND: CASE DESCRIPTION: A case of acute interhemispheric subdural hematoma during long-term dialysis is presented. CONCLUSION: AISH caused by hemodialysis is a very important complication. It is sometimes difficult to differentiate from dysequilibrium or dialysis dementia. Clinicians must pay closer attention on neurological examination of hemodialyzed patient. Surgical treatment must be as prompt as possible because of the possible sudden worsening of the patient's clinical condition.
