Background:

Transtentorial herniation of large cerebral fragments is a rare phenomenon.

Method:

Case Study

Results:

Examination of the brain of a 35-year-old male showed massive intracerebral hemorrhage resulting in displacement of basal ganglia components into the fourth ventricle.

Conclusions:

Sufficiently rapid intracerebral bleeding can dissect fragments of cerebrum and displace them long distances across the tentorial opening.

Résumé:

RÉSUMÉ:Introduction:

La hernie de parties volumineuses du cerveau est un phénomenè rare

Méthode:

Observation clinque.

Résultats:

L'examen du cerveau d'un homme âgé de 35 ans a montré une hémorragie intracérébrale massive causant un defacement d'éléments des noyaux lenticulaire, caudé, amygdalien et de l'avant-mur dans le quatriéme ventricule.

Conclusions:

Un saignement intracérébral suffisamment rapide peut disséquer des fragments du cerveau et les déplacer loin à travers l'orifice tentoriel.
