Abstract
- The most common etiology of spontaneous, non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage is hypertension. One of the most decisive factors for the determination of etiology is location of the hemorrhage. Here, we report on a 53-year-old female patient who was admitted with left putaminal hemorrhage. She did not have prominent vascular risk factors other than fundoscopic signs of hypertensive retinopathy. Magnetic resonance imaging and angiography revealed arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in the basal ganglia, which was fed by the lateral lenticulostriate artery. This case suggests that we should consider an AVM-related hemorrhage in relatively young stroke patients, regardless of hematoma location or presence of accompanying hypertension.
