Neurosurgical treatment for chronic subdural hematoma in a patient with chronic autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura

Abstract

Intracranial hemorrhage in patients with chronic autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura (CATP) is a rare and severe complication of the disease. By taking into account a concomitance of chronic subdural hematoma (CSH) and CATP and no generally accepted approaches to managing the patients with this concomitance, the authors describe a clinical case of mini-invasive CSH drainage in a patient with CATP.
