Lobar Hemorrhage Induced by Acquired Factor XIII Deficiency in a Patient with Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy
A 68-year-old man presented with intracranial hemorrhage in the right frontal lobe, which rapidly increased the day after admission. We performed hematoma removal with a biopsy of the cortex around the hematoma. The day after the operation, a subcutaneous hematoma over the craniotomy appeared, and the computed tomography showed a recurrent hemorrhage with an acute subdural hematoma. We were aware of a bleeding tendency, and a detailed hematologic examination by hematologists revealed autoimmune acquired factor XIII deficiency due to an antifactor XIII antibody.

Subdural and Intracerebral Hemorrhage Caused by Spontaneous Bleeding in the Middle Meningeal Artery after Coil Embolization of a Cerebral Aneurysm
Nontraumatic acute subdural hemorrhage (SDH) with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is rare and is usually caused by severe bleeding from aneurysms or arteriovenous fistulas. We encountered a very rare case of spontaneous bleeding from the middle meningeal artery (MMA), which caused hemorrhage in the temporal lobe and subdural space 2 weeks after coil embolization of an ipsilateral, unruptured internal cerebral artery aneurysm in the cavernous portion. At onset, the distribution of hematoma on a computed tomography scan led us to believe that the treated intracavernous aneurysm could bleed into the intradural space. Emergenc...
