Cortical deafness is a rare condition and is usually caused by bilateral cerebral lesions. Several cases of sudden cortical deafness caused by ischemic stroke or hypertensive intracerebral hematoma have been reported, however, no cases of traumatic cortical deafness were identified in our literature search. We experienced a case of delayed traumatic intracerebral hematoma (DTICH) presenting as cortical deafness. In our patient, warfarin intake seemed to be a risk factor for DTICH. Head injury may adversely affect the coagulability and thrombolysis. A high risk of DTICH after traumatic head injury should be kept in mind when encountering patients taking anticoagulants.
