Chronic encapsulated intracerebral hematoma.
Intracerebral hematomas producing chronic neurological disability are reported rarely. Two cases of chronic intracerebral hematoma are described. Each case was associated with a thick, fibrous capsule found histologically to arise from an occult vascular malformation. When such encapsulation is discovered surgically, a vascular anomaly must be suspected.
