Simultaneous Multiple Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhages

Abstract

The simultaneous occurrence of multiple intracerebral hemorrhages in different arterial territories of the brain is an uncommon clinical event. Hypertension is the most common risk factor in these cases, but the mechanism is not clear. Here, we present the case of a 68-year-old man with multiple simultaneous intracerebral hemorrhages over the thalamus and cerebellum. This is a rare case in the literature.
