Abstract

Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage is one of the most devastating forms of cerebrovascular disease in the field of neurosurgery, and is most frequently associated with the hypertension in the distribution of the penetrating vessels, or can be secondary to other factors, like aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation, glial tumor, metastasis, infarction, anticoagulation therapy, coagulation disorders such as leukemia or thrombocytopenia. Although many cases of recurrent hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage have been reported, bilateral simultaneous hemorrhage has not been reported. The authors report a case of bilateral simultaneous hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage in a 62-year-old male, which was treated by conservative management.
