Cranial CT features of two patients with intracerebral hemorrhages in the setting of sepsis and disseminated intravascular coagulation are r eported. Multiple predominantly subcortical hemorrhages were seen. Thi s pattern of cerebral hemorrhage should raise suspicion of disseminate d intravascular coagulation as an underlying cause.
