Abstract
The recurrent intracerebral hemorrhage[ICH] in hypertensive patients is not an unusual event, but the simultaneous occurrence of multiple ICH is rare. A 70-year-old woman presented with bilateral simultaneous hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhages in both thalami. The complaints of the patient were unconsciousness [semicomatose mental state] and quadriparesis Grade II. The patient was managed conservatively. At discharge, the patient was awake [drowsy mental state], but Grade III according to the Glasgow Outcome Score. This paper reviews the clinical relevance, possible etiology, and treatment of bilateral thalamic ICH.
