The patient had bilateral nasal bleeding on the day before admission and had chronic sinusitis since childhood. The head computed tomography examination after admission showed bilateral EDHs and bilateral sinusitis, the head magnetic resonance imaging showed chronic sinusitis, and the endoscopic examination during surgery further confirmed that the patient had severe sinusitis with erosion of the bilateral nasal mucosae. The patient underwent emergent surgical treatment. The cerebral vascular malformation, autoimmune diseases, low intracranial pressure, blood system diseases (such as sickle cell disease), abnormal blood coagulation, and skull or meningeal lesions were all excluded after operation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>LESSONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Chronic sinusitis may lead to EDHs through causing vascular degeneration, and abruption of the dura mater and skull.
