Spontaneous Subdural Hematoma in Patients with Advanced Cancer

Junya Hanakita, Akinori Kondo, Kiyoshi Nishihara, Yoshisuke Yamamoto, Y Kinuta

Abstract

Two cases of spontaneous subdural hematoma in patients with advanced cancer are presented, and the mechanisms involved in the formation of such spontaneous subdural hematomas are discussed. We believe that disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) played the most important role in inducing the spontaneous subdural hematomas in the two patients presented here.
