Abstract:
Simultaneous spontaneous bilateral external capsule hemorrhage is a rare clinical entity with extremely poor outcome. However, knowledge on the effective management of this fatal disease is limited. Herein,we described a case of a 42-year-old man with acute coma and quadriplegia as well as respiratory failure related to the disease. The patient underwent minimally invasive surgery plus local thrombolysis. Consequently, he recovered with satisfactory neurological function recovery on the 180th day of follow-up.
