A 77-year-old man has been discharged from the ICU following a complicated admission (15 days) with fecal peritonitis. His medical history is significant for treated hypertension and hypercholesterolemia, previous heavy alcohol intake, and mild cognitive impairment. On the third morning after discharge from the ICU, he is found on the floor of his room, having apparently fallen from his bed. CT reveals an acute subdural hematoma in the left hemisphere with an underlying hemorrhagic contusion and 5-mm displacement of the midline intracranial structures.
