Acute, recurrent subdural hematoma (SDH) is a rare entity in the absence of trauma. Atraumatic SDH may be due to vascular disorders, coagulopathies, or intracranial hypotension. It is a rare complication of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), with no prior reports in patients with intracranial metastatic colon cancer (MCC). Rapid resolution of the initial acute SDH with contralateral recurrence has not yet been reported in the literature. We present a case of rapidly resolving and recurrent, contralateral acute SDH from DIC secondary to MCC.
