Abstract:
In three(0.3%) of 1045 patients suffering from hypertensive intracerebral hematomas, two such hematomas occurred simultaneously. All three patients had a history of hypertension. The locations of the hematomas were as follows: Cerebellum and splenium of the corpus callosum in case 1, cerebellum and left thalamus in case 2, right thalamus and left frontoparietal lobe in case 3. One patient died of the ensuing hemorrhage and the other two remained moderate disability. Even though hypertension is considered to be a major factor of simultaneous occurrence of multiple intracerebral hematomas, their unusual locations suggest that a subtle degenerative process may be active in the pathogenesis of this condition.
