Abstract
Background: Incidence of intracerebral hemorrhage in patients with tuberous sclerosis is
rare, and in most of the cases it is associated with either underlying cerebrovascular
malformation or hemorrhage into the subependymal giant cell astrocytoma. Case
characteristics: A 2-year-old boy presented with a hemorrhagic stroke, and subsequently
diagnosed as a case of tuberous sclerosis. Observation: Detailed work-up for stroke did
not reveal any definite etiology. Outcome: Weakness gradually improved. Follow-up
neuroimaging showed resolution of hemorrhage. Message: Clinician must be aware
regarding this rare presentation of tuberous sclerosis.
