Chronic subdural haematoma (cSDH) is a rare form of bleeding in patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). In patients with ITP cSDHs may resolve spontaneously or with medical treatment. Surgery can be postponed if the patient does not have neurological symptoms. Medical treatment and close observation may be appropriate in the management of patients without neurological findings, because surgery might be complicated with intracranial bleeding.
