Abstract

Seong Hoon Jeong and Hyo Joon Kim

The authors report the complication that occurred after stereotactic catheterization in a 71-year-old patient with a spontaneous intracerebral hematoma (ICH). After stereotactic catheterization, a subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) was found in the post-operative CT scan. An SAH is a rare complication related with stereotactic catheterization. We investigated the cause and reported about a newly occurring SAH after stereotactic catheterization.
