Abstract
The authors report two cases of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) repeated at the same site within 1 or 2 days causing death in a 53-year-old male and a 48-year-old female. In both cases, platelet aggregation was significantly impaired. Acquired platelet dysfunction may be important in the expansion of hemorrhage in patients with repeated hypertensive ICH. In such cases administration of normal platelets may be required to prevent devastating hemorrhage.
