Summary Bilateral Parkinsonism has been observed in a 60-year-old female with a chronic subdural intracranial haematoma. Scattered, poorly marginated, hypodense areas within the ipsilateral pallidus and putamen were evident on the preoperative CT scans. The rapid neurological improvement following the surgical drainage of the subdural clot and the evolution of the densitometric features of the nuclear lesions, which became clear-cut, though smaller, in the following months, suggest a cause-and-effect relation between the haematoma and the clinical symptomatology. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case in which anatomical lesions within the basal ganglia could be detected neuroradiologically.
