SPONTANEOUS LOBAR HEMATOMA DUE TO COMBINE D PLASMATIC AND CORPUSCULARCOAGULOPATHY

We report on a 23-year old patient who suffered from a spontaneous tem poral lobar haemorrhage. The cause of this was a previously inapparent , congenital, combined plasmatic and corpuscular coagulopathy (von Wil lebrand's disease and thrombocytopathy). This case report emphasises t he significance of coagulation analysis during the diagnostic process in nontraumatic intracerebral haemorrhage in young adults. If other ca uses of lobar intracerebral haemorrhage have been excluded, it should be performed even in patients with no history of bleeding diathesis.
