Abstract

Spontaneous, nontraumatic midbrain hemorrhage is rare. The recent advent of CT scanning has led to recognition of smaller non fatal hemorrhage that could not have been diagnosed. About 19 cases of primary midbrrain hemorrhage have been reported in detail on the previous world literature. The authors recently encountered a hypertensive patient with small isolated mesencephalic hemorrhage documented by the CT scanning of brain, who clinically exhibited only bilateral ptosis and nuclear ophthalmoplegia. So we report a case of primary midbrain hemorrhage with the review of literature.
