ABSTRACT
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a significant morbid disease with a secondary injury effect on the brain. Such risk factors contributing to ICH are hypertension, smoking, excessive consumption of alcohol, high cholesterol levels, and use of drugs, as well as unmodifiable risk factors, including old age, male sex, Asian ethnicity, and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). We report a 30-year-old man with a relatively healthy status who presented with a sudden onset of unconsciousness and right-sided weakness. Babinski reflex was also found on the right toe. Multi-slice non-contrast CT scan revealed intracerebral hemorrhage with a volume of 189 ccs in the left temporoparietal region with perifocal edema and midline shifting to the right.
