  • Title: Subdural haematoma with spontaneous resolution--rare manifestation of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.
    Author: Sreedharan PS, Rakesh S, Sajeev S, Pavithran K, Thomas M.
    Journal: J Assoc Physicians India; 2000 Apr; 48(4):432-4. PubMed ID: 11273182.
    Abstract:
    Spontaneous intracranial haemorrhage presenting as subdural haematoma is an extremely rare presentation in adults due to idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. There are only five such case reports available in the literature and four had surgical evacuation of haematoma, while only one had spontaneous resolution. We report the case of a middle aged female who presented with bilateral papilloedema and later diagnosed to have subdural haematoma as a complication of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, which had a spontaneous resolution.
