Spontaneous hematoma of the septum pellucidum and corpus callosum: A case report

Abstract

The hemorrhagic lesion in the septum pellucidum and corpus callosum is not common and it can be found in patients with brain trauma (diffuse axonal injury), aneurysms of the pericallosal artery, after ruptured arteriovenous malformations or intracranial tumors. A 59-year-old man, a chronic alcoholic, developed a little hematoma in the septum pellucidum and corpus callosum with subarachnoid haemorrhage on the tentorium and all explorations showed no cause of these. Evolution was favorable with conservative treatment.
