Widespread Metastatic Prostate Carcinoma Shown by 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT.

abstract：:Chronic subdural hematoma (SDH) is difficult to diagnose by clinical manifestations only. Nonspecific neurologic symptoms and signs may lead physicians to make other diagnoses. Although head trauma is the most common cause, it may be considered insignificant or omitted due to its minor initial manifestations. We prese...
