Abstract
Exertional heat stroke may be complicated by mild neurological deficit s, usually with complete convalescence. This may be associated with me tabolic disorders inherent to hyperthermia such as a marked coagulopat hy. We report a case of a previously healthy 20 year old male who died in the course of exertional heat stroke complicated by intracerebral hemorrhage. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
