Abstract
Spontaneous intraspinal and intracranial subdural hematomas (SDHs) are rare, potentially life-threatening complications. We present the case of a 38-yearold highly active antiretroviral therapy-naïve human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)- positive patient who developed simultaneous intraspinal and intracranial SDHs without hemostatic abnormalities. The patient presented with acute lower limb weakness and back pain, and later developed neurological symptoms, including diplopia and incontinence. This case highlights the importance of considering SDHs in HIV-positive patients presenting with neurological symptoms, and underscores the need for prompt diagnosis and multidisciplinary management.
