Management of Chronic Subdural Haematoma in a Case of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intracranial hemorrhage is a rare devastating complication of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), mostly presenting as intraparenchymal or subarachnoid haemorrhage. Isolated chronic subdural haematoma (SDH) is still very rare and the optimal management is unsettled. Spontaneous resolution of chronic SDH in patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is possible. We report a case of spontaneous chronic SDH in a patient with ITP with hemiparesis where the haematoma significantly decreased in size with complete resolution of hemiparesis as a result of platelet transfusions and continuing therapy with steroids. Surgical treatment of subdural haematoma with consequent bleeding complications can be avoided in this scenario.
