Henoch-Schönlein purpura with intracerebral hemorrhage: case report.
We report the case of a 5-year-old patient with Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) who had a large intracerebral hematoma (ICH) in the left parietal area. HSP complicated by ICH is rare, with only three cases reported in the literature. Conservative treatment with steroid therapy in this patient was successful and no further major neurologic sequelae occurred.
