摘　　要：Subdural hematoma is often secondary to brain trauma and other diseases.The onset is hidden and the condition is critical.Timely detection and early treatment are particularly important.The patient denied a history of trauma,but had a history of consciousness loss after charcoal burning.The clinical symptoms were progressive cognitive impairment.The initial diagnosis was delayed encephalopathy caused by carbon monoxide poisoning.However,computed tomography(CT)scan of the brain showed a large area of subdural hematoma on the left side and the formation of a cerebral hernia,which was life-threatening.The patienfs symptoms gradually improved after an emergency operation.
