Pak J Med Sci Jan ;21(4):491-3.

Electro Convulsive Therapy (ECT) is commonly used in the management of the Bipolar disorder. Rare complication of this procedure, the intracranial bleed has scantily been reported in the English literature. We report a case of such a complication in a 63 years old man who was a known case of bipolar disorder for last 30 years and required ECT application for one month. Presenting symptoms consisted of increased agitation, headache vomiting and sudden deterioration of sensorium, with CT suggestive of left-sided frontoparietal chronic subdural hematoma. Drainage of the hematoma resulted in complete resolution of raised intracranial pressure symptoms.
