| Summary: | 【Abstract】The association of chronic subdural
hematoma (CSDH) and arachnoid cyst (AC) is uncommon.
We reported 2 juvenile athletes with CSDH associated with
AC which occurred in their daily sports activities and re-
viewed the literature. Both of them were treated surgically,
with satisfactory outcome. AC is a common predisposing
factor in young patients with CSDH. The complication of
intracranial bleeding is an indication for surgical
management. Though there are still controversies in the
treatment of asymptomatic AC, it is the consensus that the
patients with AC should avoid violent sports so as to re-
duce the incidence of intracranial hemorrhage resulted from
head injuries.
