Although middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization has been considered in elderly patients with high comorbidities, it may permit treatment of CSDH in patients who are at high risk for recurrence or deemed unsuitable for surgical management due to thrombocytopenia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>OBSERVATIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 35-year-old man who had severe thrombocytopenia due to blast cell crisis with chronic myeloid leukemia developed an atraumatic CSDH. The patient developed severe headaches in the hospital while being treated for febrile neutropenia. He remained neurologically intact. MMA embolization was undertaken due to the morbidity and mortality risks associated with surgery and the high risk of recurrence due to severe thrombocytopenia. At 2 months post-procedure the patient was asymptomatic and there was almost complete resolution of the hematoma.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>LESSONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Thrombocytopenia in the presence of a CSDH is becoming increasingly common.
