As a result of the vascu- lopathy and coagulopathy, which are complications of HIV infection, the cerebral vessels have a fragile structure that leads to complications that facilitate the development of contralateral intracranial epidural haematoma together.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

Abstract

Intracranial epidural haematomas are almost always sec- ondary to head traumas and usually occur unilaterally. Bi- lateral intracranial epidural haematomas are rare, but the mortality is very high. In our case, we report a bilateral epidural haematoma in a 32 year old, HIV infected male patient who came to the emergency service with a head trauma because of a motor vehicle-pedestrian accident. The occurrence of bilateral epidural haematoma in an HIV in- fected patient is a rare condition as a result of head trauma in a lateral direction on one side. As a result of the vascu- lopathy and coagulopathy, which are complications of HIV infection, the cerebral vessels have a fragile structure that leads to complications that facilitate the development of contralateral intracranial epidural haematoma together.

Özet

İntrakraniyal epidural hematomlar hemen her zaman kafa travmasına ikincil gelişir ve sıklıkla tek taraflı olarak izlenir. İki taraflı intrakraniyal epidural hematomlar nadir olmakla birlikte mortalitesi oldukça yüksektir. Bu yazıda, araç dışı trafik kazası sonucu kafa travması nedeniyle acil servise getirilen 32 yaşında, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) enfeksiyonlu, erkek hastada saptanan iki taraflı epidural he- matom sunuldu. Kafa travması tek yönlü ve lateral planda olmasına rağmen HIV enfeksiyonlu bir hastada iki taraflı epidural hematom ile sonuçlanması nadir bir durumdur. HIV enfeksiyonunun komplikasyonları olan vaskülopati ve koagülopati sonucunda serebral damarlar frajil bir yapı alır ve bu komplikasyonlar birlikte kontrlateral intrakraniyal epidural hematom gelişmesini kolaylaştırır.
