Simultaneous bilateral hypertensive thalamic hemorrhage: A rare event

On initial evaluation, his noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) of the brain revealed bilateral thalamic hyperdensity, which was confirmed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as hemorrhage [Figure 1]. The second mechanism is related to the fact that the initial hemorrhage raises the blood pressure...

Description
Summary:On initial evaluation, his noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) of the brain revealed bilateral thalamic hyperdensity, which was confirmed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as hemorrhage [Figure 1]. The second mechanism is related to the fact that the initial hemorrhage raises the blood pressure resulting in subsequent rupture of the contralateral thalamic vessels.
