Abstract
A 10-year-old boy with a history of autism presented acutely with altered level of consciousness, emesis, left hemiparesis, left facial droop, and slurred speech in the context of a four week history of intermittent headache and vomiting. Computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated a large right frontal intraparenchymal hemorrhage and suspected underlying intra-axial mass with intraventricular hemorrhage extension, mass effect, and midline shift. The patient underwent emergency craniotomy.
Discussion points
