Abstract

Introduction: Pediatric ICH peaks in the first year of life especially in neonatal period with hematological abnormalities or structural vascular disorders such as arteriovenous malformations (AVM) or aneurysms. Imaging modality of choice is NCCT head. Urgent surgery when indicated should be performed early.
Aims: To evaluate the causes of spontaneous ICH in paediatric patients and reviewing the literature.
Materials and Methods: We have discussed the causes of spontaneous ICH in our paediatric patient and we have discussed the management provided to this patient.
Conclusions: Taking a detailed history from the parents and the child is important for determining any history of head injury and bleeding episodes. Despite comprehensive evaluation, it may not be possible to determine the cause of ICH in some pediatric cases.
