Abstract
Recurrent parenchymal brain haemorrhages that are angiographically occult, are problematic due to the uncertainty of the underlying diagnosis. We describe a rare case of high-grade glioma in the thalamus that presented with multiple thalamic haemorrhages, before features of the underlying mass lesion evolved, and discuss the challenges faced in the early diagnosis and management of tumour related haemorrhages.
