Abstract
In cases of “spontaneous” intracerebral hemorrhage, one should be alert to the possibility of occult sepsis and search for a source in the early post-emergency period. In three patients with a rapidly expanding cerebral mass and an emergency angiographic demonstration of an intracerebral hematoma, the etiology of the hemorrhage was the rupture of a mycotic intracerebral aneurysm, which had developed secondary to a silent bacterial endocarditis.
