title: Remote hemorrhage.
abstract: The authors report a case of infra- and supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage complicating the postoperative course of a patient who had undergone surgical removal of a cervical schwannoma with an hourglass configuration. To their knowledge, this is the first case in which this neurosurgical procedure was followed by such a complication. Possible mechanisms are discussed; however, pathological events leading to this complication are unclear. The development of new neurological deficits not attributable to the surgical procedure should suggest this possibility.
