Abstrakt: Bilateral basal ganglia haemorrhage following motor vehicle accident is extremely rare in field of neurosurgery. This is presumed to be secondary to rupture of lenticulostriate or Anterior Choroidal artery by shearing, as a result of acceleration/deceleration forces. Although the exact mechanism is still not known. Isolated bilateral basal ganglia haemorrhage carries favourable prognosis. We report a rare case of 50 years old lady having bilateral basal ganglia haemorrhage with diffuse axonal injury following motor vehicle accident. Patient was managed conservatively and improved.
