- Abstract
One differential cause of intracerebral bleeding in addition to thrombocytopenia is hepatic encephalopathy, which can be complicated by micro- and macrobleeding [[2]]. Keywords: Intracerebral bleeding; Ependymoma; Neurosurgery; Aminolevulinic acid; Thrombocytopenia EN Intracerebral bleeding Ependymoma Neurosurgery Aminolevulinic acid Thrombocytopenia 847 848 2 05/08/23 20230401 NES 230401 Dear Editor: We read with interest the article by Mui et al. about a previously healthy four years-old male undergoing resection of a fourth ventricle anaplastic ependymoma with obstructive hydrocephalus, initially without complications [[1]]. On post-operative day two, the course was complicated by hepatopathy, thrombocytopenia, and spontaneous right frontal intracerebral bleeding with intraventricular extension and subdural hematoma requiring emergency craniotomy and evacuation of the bleeding [[1]].
