Summary
Traumatic brain injury can lead to delayed intracerebral hematoma, causing cortical deafness, especially in patients taking anticoagulants like warfarin. This rare condition highlights the need for vigilance in head-injured patients on blood thinners.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Traumatology
- Otolaryngology
Background:
- Cortical deafness is a rare condition typically resulting from bilateral cerebral lesions.
- Previous reports primarily link sudden cortical deafness to ischemic stroke or hypertensive intracerebral hematoma.
- No documented cases of traumatic cortical deafness were found in existing literature.
