The aim of presenting this phenomenon was to emphasize that changes in the consciousness table in a patient with traumatic borderline subdural hematoma may depend not only on hematoma but also on hyponatremia. Our case was a 60 year old, confused patient with borderline subdural hematoma on CT examination. The patient had deep hyponatremia at the same time. While the patient was followed up with clinical, radiological and laboratory findings, it was seen that the hematoma continued at the same size, but the consciousness was totally opened by the treatment of hyponatremia and even the patient could be mobilized. In conclusion, a patient who has undergone trauma and has surgically borderline subdural hematoma should not be rushed for surgery. In such patients, urgent electrolyte evaluations especially for hyponatremia should be done first, and this should be corrected.
