Cerebral Hemispheric Infarct Following Ipsilateral IntraCerebral Haemhorrhage: Case Report and Review of Literature

Abstract

The authors report the development of a cerebral hemispheric infarct in a patient who was diagnosed to have an intracerebral haematoma and neurologically worsened in the first 6 h. The occurrence of such a phenomenon is rare and scarcely reported. Possible explanations for the development of ischaemia in such a setting have been discussed based on existing literature.
