ABSTRACT
The spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage associated with cerebral tumors constitutes a rare event. The isolated spontaneous subdural hematoma related to a cerebral tumor represents an even more striking condition. Some hypotheses have been formulated to attempt to explain the occurrence of the spontaneous hemorrhages associated with intracranial meningiomas, but there is no consensus on its formation. We report on a case of a male patient presenting intense headache, without traumatic brain injury history, in which investigation showed an intracranial meningioma associated to a spontaneous subdural hematoma. He was submitted to a cranial surgery, presenting good recovery. We also perform a brief review on the theme.
RESUMEN
La hemorragia intracraneal espontánea asociado con tumores cerebrales constituye un evento raro. El hematoma subdural espontáneo aislado relacionada con un tumor cerebral representa una condición aún más sorprendente. Algunas hipótesis han sido formuladas para intentar explicar la aparición de las hemorragias espontáneas asociadas con meningiomas intracraneales, pero no hay consenso sobre su formación. Se presenta un caso de un paciente de sexo masculino que presentó dolor de cabeza intenso, sin historia de lesión cerebral traumática, en el que la investigación mostró un meningioma intracraneal asociado a un hematoma subdural espontáneo. Se le sometió a una neurocirugía, presentando una buena recuperación. También realizamos una breve revisión sobre el tema.
