Primary medullary hemorrhages occurred in two normotensive patients on oral anticoagulation. CT scans confirmed diagnosis and resolution, correlating with good clinical outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Primary medullary hemorrhage is a rare cerebrovascular event.
  • Understanding risk factors and outcomes in anticoagulated patients is crucial.

Observation:

  • Two normotensive patients on oral anticoagulation developed primary medullary hemorrhages.
  • Coagulation studies were not excessively prolonged at the time of hemorrhage.

Findings:

  • Computed tomography (CT) confirmed the diagnosis of primary medullary hemorrhage in both cases.
  • CT demonstrated resolution of the hemorrhages in both patients.
  • Hemorrhage resolution on CT correlated with favorable clinical outcomes.

Implications:

  • This suggests that primary medullary hemorrhage can occur even with therapeutic anticoagulation levels.

  • CT imaging is valuable for diagnosing and monitoring medullary hemorrhages.
  • Favorable outcomes may be associated with early detection and resolution.
