Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) typically develops in the supratentorial region in elderly patients. We treated a case of unilateral supratentorial and bilateral infratentorial CSDH, whereby the patient had a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection combined with disseminated intravascular coagulation 2 months earlier. The patient had not experienced any head trauma before the onset of the CSDH. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient experienced no neurological deficit. We propose that we should be aware not only of acute ischemic or hemorrhagic diseases after COVID-19 infection but also of chronic subdural hematoma caused by coagulopathy after a COVID-19 infection.
慢性硬膜下血肿(CSDH)通常发生于老年患者的幕上区域。我们治疗了一例单侧幕上及双侧幕下CSDH患者,该患者在两个月前感染了2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)并合并弥散性血管内凝血。在CSDH发病前,该患者未经历过任何头部外伤。术后过程顺利,患者未出现神经功能缺损。我们建议,不仅要注意COVID-19感染后的急性缺血性或出血性疾病,还要注意COVID-19感染后由凝血病引起的慢性硬膜下血肿。
