Extramedullary hematopoiesis presenting as spontaneous recurrent chronic subdural hematoma: Case report and review of the literature

Extramedullary hematopoiesis presenting as spontaneous recurrent chronic subdural hematoma: Case report and review of the literature

Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) tends to be associated with elderly male, non-significant head trauma and anticoagulation therapy. The origin of the hematoma is believed to be a tear in a bridging vein. A CSDH rarely develops acute symptoms, but is rather characterized by progressive neuro-cognitiv...
