Resumen

Presentamos el caso de un varón de 39 años de edad, que en el curso de una leptospirosis grave, con fracaso renal agudo, edema agudo de pulmón e ictericia importante, comienza con manifestaciones clínicas de afección neurológica (cefalea, disartria y paresia de la extremidad superior derecha). Se evidencian en tomografía computarizada (TC) y resonancia magnética (RM) hematomas subdurales múltiples y bilate-rales. Leptospirapuede producir una vasculitis difusa con lesión capi-lar, dando lugar a distintas manifestaciones hemorrágicas, concreta-mente en el sistema nervioso es una causa conocida de hemorragia su-baracnoidea; el hematoma subdural intracraneal representa un hallazgo no descrito en la bibliografía revisada.

Abstract

We report the case of a 39-year-old man who developed the clinical signs of neurological disorder (headache, dysarthria and right arm paresis) during the course of severe leptospirosis with acute renal failure, acute pulmonary edema and jaundice. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance images revealed the presence of bilateral multiple subdural hematomas. Leptospiracan produce diffuse vasculitis with capillary damage, leading to different hemorrhagic manifestations; in the nervous system, for example, it is known to cause subarachnoid hemorrhage. We have found no reference to intracranial subdural hematoma in the literature we reviewed.
