Patients with underlying hematological disorders often experience unexpected intracranial hemorrhage during or after neurosurgical procedures. The authors present a case of underlying myelofibrosis in a patient who experienced recurrent rebleeding within a short period following burr hole surgery for a chronic subdural hematoma, ultimately necessitating decompressive craniectomy. This case highlights the potential challenges of managing hemorrhages in patients with underlying hematological conditions.
A 75-year-old male presented with impaired consciousness. CT revealed a left chronic subdural hematoma, and burr hole surgery was performed. Within 7 days, he experienced three recurrent intracranial hemorrhages, necessitating decompressive craniectomy. Routine blood tests showed no bleeding tendency; however, a detailed evaluation led to the diagnosis of primary myelofibrosis, and multiple extramedullary hematopoiesis was identified in the subdural hematoma.
Extramedullary hematopoiesis can occur in the chronic subdural hematoma space, and surgical intervention can lead to severe intracranial hemorrhage. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25255.
患有潜在血液系统疾病的患者在神经外科手术期间或术后常发生意外颅内出血。作者报告了一例潜在骨髓纤维化患者的病例,该患者在慢性硬膜下血肿钻孔手术后短期内反复出血,最终需要进行去骨瓣减压术。该病例突出了管理患有潜在血液系统疾病患者出血的潜在挑战。
一名75岁男性出现意识障碍。CT显示左侧慢性硬膜下血肿,遂行钻孔手术。7天内,他发生了3次反复颅内出血,需要进行去骨瓣减压术。常规血液检查未显示出血倾向;然而,详细评估导致原发性骨髓纤维化的诊断,并在硬膜下血肿中发现多处髓外造血。
髓外造血可发生在慢性硬膜下血肿腔内,手术干预可导致严重颅内出血。https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25255 。
