Abstract

Multiplanar intracranial hemorrhage with coagulopathy significantly increases perioperative morbidity and should always be considered while evaluating brain injury in setting of trivial trauma. Aneurysm and cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) must always be ruled out before definite surgical intervention. Here, we report a case of intracranial hemorrhage in multiple planes occurring in the setting of coagulopathy, its early diagnosis and its treatment which resulted in a good outcome.
