title: [Hematomas of the lenticular nucleus and pons in a hypertensive patient].
abstract: Secondary pontine hemorrhages are not rare in intracranial hypertension caused by a supratentorial mass lesion. Cerebral herniation and caudal dislocation of the brainstem account for the secondary pontine hemorrhages. In the present case, two unrelated hemorrhages were demonstrated by an early CT. Neurological findings and CT thus suggest that this is a rare case in which supratentorial and infratentorial hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhages occurred simultaneously.
