Abstrakt: Background: Basal ganglia hemorrhage (BGH) is an intracerebral subtype of hemorrhage located in the caudate nucleus, putamen, globus pallidus, or adjacent structures such as the thalamus or internal capsule. Bilateral involvement of both basal ganglia is exceedingly infrequent. Herein, we report a case of a 2-year-old female who was discovered to have spontaneous bilateral BGH with a unique hemorrhagic extension.
Case Description: A 2-year-old female child who presented with a decreased level of consciousness, seizure, and fever was discovered to have bilateral BGH during imaging evaluation that extended from the head of the caudate to involve the putamen, globus pallidus, and anterior limb of the internal capsule.
Conclusion: Bilateral BGH is extremely rare, and to the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report in pediatric age groups.
