INTRACEREBRAL HEMORRHAGE IN A BOTTLENOSED DOLPHIN ( Tursiops truncatus ).
A neurologic condition closely resembling a common human disease, hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage, is described in a captive dolphin. Motor deficits and the possibiltiy that behavioral changes resulted in the animal's being attacked and driven off by its herdmates, are discussed in terms of damage resulting from the hemorrhagic lesion.
