Case report: metastatic renal cell carcinoma presenting as intracerebral haemorrhage.
Cerebral haemorrhage is a well-established, albeit rare, complication of intracranial tumours. An autopsy series of 461 cerebral tumours revealed haemorrhage into only 2%. A case is described of intracerebral haemorrhage which complicated a metastatic renal cell carcinoma. There are four previous cases reported in the literature with this presentation, but this case differs in that the diagnosis was by cerebral angiography and at a site distant to the original haemorrhage.
