Description
Mohammed Alrawi and colleagues report bleeding in both basal ganglia of a two-year-old child, an exceedingly rare event. Their 2023 case description presents, to their knowledge, the first such paediatric report.
Basal ganglia haemorrhage affects deep brain structures including the caudate nucleus, putamen, and globus pallidus, but bilateral involvement is extremely infrequent. The young girl presented with decreased consciousness, seizure, and fever. Imaging revealed spontaneous bleeding on both sides with a distinctive extension pattern. The bleed ran from the head of the caudate into the putamen, globus pallidus, and the front limb of the internal capsule. The case documents presentation, imaging extent, and rarity for clinicians.
