Abstract
AbstractThe comatose patients with pontine hemorrhage of diameter greater than 2 cm have poor prognosis. A 59‐year‐old male was brought with Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score of E2M5V2. He was mechanically ventilated. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a pontine hematoma, of size 3 cm. He improved. Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) score was five. A 57‐year‐old male was brought with GCS score E1M3V1. He was ventilated. MRI scan showed a pontine hematoma of size 2.8 cm. His GOS score was three at 6 months. This is a report of two survived cases of large pontine hematoma with poor prognostic factors. This is the first report of good recovery with large pontine hematoma to GOS 5.
