A hypertensive patient with multiple intracerebral hemorrhages due to brain metastases

We report the case of a 55–year–old man, hypertensive, who presented to the Emergency Room with intense occipital cephaleea, nausea, vomiting and disturbance of balance. The peculiarity of this case was given by the simultaneous presence of two brain hemorrhagic lesions and an unusual hypodensity wi...
