ABSTRACT
The simultaneous occurrence of brain hemorrhages in different territories is rare and has a poor outcome. The predisposing risk factors and pathophysiological mechanisms are not clearly understood. We describe two patients with simultaneous bilateral thalamic hemorrhages. We analysed the clinical features, radiological images and neurological prognosis.
