Abstract

Multiple simultaneous intracranial hemorrhages are very uncommon and both supra- and infratentorial hemorrhages are even more rare. Here we report a case of 56 year old hypertensive male with no other significant medical history who presented with a hypertensive emergency. Emergency head computed tomography showed bilateral basal ganglia and midbrain hemorrhages extending to right cerebellar peduncle. The patient made a progressive recovery and finally achieved functional independence. This report shows that hypertension may cause multiple simultaneous supra- and infratentorial hemorrhages and have good prognosis.
