Unilateral traumatic hemorrhage of the basal ganglion and bihemisferic cerebral infarction

Abstract

Among the various injuries caused by the cerebral tramatic lesion are trau- matic brain contusions. Hemorrhagic contusions of the basal ganglia are unusual. Different injuries such as cranial fractures, epidural hemorrhage, subdural hematoma, subarachnoid hemorrhage among others may be associated with brain contusions. In some cases traumatic brain injury arises. We present a case of a patient with unilateral cerebral contusion associated with bihemispheric cerebral infarction.
