Abstract

ABSTRACT Traumatic basal ganglia hemorrhage (TBGH) is characterized as a hemorrhagic lesion located in the basal ganglia or in internal capsule or thalamus. Outcome of TBGH is mainly determined by the extent of associated brain injuries particularly the larger the size, presence of coagulation disorders, diffuse, presence of intraventricular or brain stem hemorrhage, age ≥60, pupillary asymmetry, abnormal motor response, and severe head injury all are associated with poorer outcome. In present case, we discuss a case of adult male traumatic basal ganglia hemorrhage with good outcome. How to cite this article Agrawal A. Traumatic Basal Ganglia Hematoma.
