description INTRODUCTION: Spontaneous intra-cerebral hemorrhage can occur in patients with venous disease due to obstructed venous outflow. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 78-year-old Caucasian man with jugular valve incompetence who experienced an intra-cerebral temporo-occipital hemorrhage following sexual intercourse. He had no other risk factors for an intra-cerebral hemorrhage. CONCLUSIONS: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of intra-cerebral hemorrhage due to jugular valve incompetence in association with the physical exertion associated with sexual intercourse.
