BackgroundcSDH is a rare form of bleeding in patients with ITP. Intracerebral hematoma or subarachnoid hemorrhage is more frequently reported in these patients. Spontaneous resolution of cSDH in patients with idiopathic subdural hematoma is uncommon.Case DescriptionWe report a case of spontaneous cSDH in a patient with ITP, and we review the related cases in the literature. In our patient, the hematoma resolved spontaneously despite very low platelet levels. There also was an incidental left parietal convexity meningioma. A review of the literature is presented, and the management of the patients is discussed.ConclusionIn patients with ITP, cSDHs may resolve spontaneously or with medical treatment, and surgery might be deferred except in emergency conditions or in patients with normal neurological findings. Close neurological and radiological observation along with the medical treatment may be appropriate in the management of patients with normal neurological findings.
