ABSTRACT
We report a case of a 35-year-old right-handed male patient with drug-resistant mesial temporal lobe epilepsy who developed ipsilateral occipital hematoma after right temporal anterior lobectomy and amygdalohippocampectomy. Patient did not report taking any drugs with anticoagulant effect, such as aspirin or valproate. There was no past history of hypertension and the pre-operation tests were normal. Pre-operative brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed no abnormality in the right occipital lobe. Overdraining of cerebrospinal fluid may have triggered this remote cerebellar hemorrhage.
