Retroclival subdural hemorrhage is a rare entity. Apart from trauma, it may occur due to rupture of an aneurysm, pituitary apoplexy and spontaneously. Very few cases are associated with bleeding disorders.A 62-year-old female patient who was under warfarin treatment was found to have subdural hemorrhage in the retroclival area. Headache complaint was rapidly relieved by steroid treatment. She fully recovered in a month. Spontaneous retroclival hemorrhage is rarely associated with anticoagulant agents. Though it’s hardly a lethal condition, steroids can provide quick pain relief.
