title: [Intracranial hemorrhage in Schoenlein-Henoch syndrome].
abstract: Henoch-Schoenlein syndrome (HSS) is one of the most common vasculitis in childhood. It is characterized by non-thrombocytopenic purpura, arthritis, abdominal pain, and sometimes intestinal haemorrhage and renal involvement. It may be complicated by haemorrhages in uncommon sites, such as lungs, testicles, bladder, and central nervous system. Neurological involvement in HSS is often underestimated, usually occurring with headache, irritability, and behavioural alterations, whereas endocranial haemorrhage is quite rare. We report a case of endocranial haemorrhage in a child with HSS.
