Abstract

Intracerebral hemorrhage[ICH] following aneurysmal rupture is found in 34% of the previous literature. However, hypertensive ICH concurrent with subarachnoid hemorrhage[SAH] due to an aneurysm rupture is very unusual with only four cases, to our knowledge, having been previously reported in the literature. We describe a patient who presented with aneurysmal SAH concurrent with hypertensive ICH and review of the literature.
