Abstract
- Background: Bilateral traumatic basal ganglia haematoma is an extremely rare event in traumatic brain injuries, with only five reported cases. The presumed mechanism is due to shearing forces leading to haemorrhage from the lenticulostriate or anterior choroidal artery. The prognosis appears to be dependent on the extent and severity of underlying brain injury.<br />Case Study: A case of a 38 year old fully conscious male, who presented with bilateral basal ganglia haematoma and extradural haematoma, is presented and the relevant literature is briefly reviewed.
