Spontaneous Subdural Hematomas as Initial Presentation of Acquired Coagulopathy: A Case Report
The evaluation of coagulopathies can be challenging due to the extensive variety of etiologies. This can be particularly complicated in patients with concomitant autoimmune disorders. In this case, a 64-year-old woman presented with intractable headaches and neck pain for two weeks. Her coagulation tests revealed an isolated prolongation of activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). This case highlights the diagnostic approach and summarizes management considerations in patients with similar presentations.
