Traumatic Unilateral Basal Ganglia Hemorrhage in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report Traumatic Basal Ganglia Hemorrhage

International Clinical Neuroscience Journal, Vol. 9 (2022), 10 Dey 2022 , Page e28

Abstract

Traumatic basal ganglia hemorrhages are among the very rare intracranial hemorrhages. In cases with bleeding in this region, high mortality and morbidity rates are encountered. This region contains many anatomically critical functional pathways. Basal ganglia hemorrhages are common in the elderly, and hypertension plays a role in its pathogenesis. Age-related comorbid factors are also relatively high in these patients. Basal ganglia hemorrhages are very rare in the pediatric age group. It can be predicted that the prognosis in this age group will be better than in the elderly. A 13-year-old man was followed up with the diagnosis of unilateral basal ganglia hemorrhage after falling from a bicycle. Right hemiparesis was present at the time of admission. Neurological findings of the patient, who was followed up with conservative treatment, completely recovered after one week. In control computed tomography examination, it was observed that the hematoma was completely resorbed. Herein, we present the clinical and radiological prognosis in a child with traumatic basal ganglia hemorrhage.
