Abstract
The most significant threat factor for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is hypertension, which frequently results in solitary hematoma. Bilateral basal ganglia simultaneous hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhages are exceedingly rare. Few case reports of concomitant hypertensive ICH in the bilateral basal ganglia region exist in the literature. The majority of documented patients received conservative care and had dreadful prognoses. We report a case of a 43-year-old male, who presented to our emergency room with concurrent hypertensive bilateral hemorrhages within both basal ganglia. He was managed conservatively and attained a recoverable state. We would like to report this case because of the clinical rarity, paucity of published case reports, and the widespread dispute on its management.
