Summary The authors describe a 66-year-old man with progressive gait disturbance caused by bilateral organized chronic subdural haematomas. The characteristics of these lesions on magnetic resonance (MR) images have not yet been clarified. The organized haematoma in our patient exhibited slight hypo-intensity on T 1-weighted MR images and marked hypo-intensity on T 2-weighted MR images obtained at 1.5 T. Preoperative MR imaging may give us useful information about surgical strategy in the case of chronic subdural haematoma with an unusual appearance on computed tomographic (CT) scans.
