Mechanisms of ischemic stroke after intracerebral haemorrhage ( ICH) include blood pressure lowering, intracranial pressure elevation and microvasculopathy. A combination of local compression, oedema, inflammation, increased viscosity at varying stages of haemorrhage may lead to thrombotic events soon after ICH. Patients with cerebral microangiopathy may have higher risk for brain ischemia. We present a case of a 55 years old man with subsequent ischemic stroke 2 weeks after ICH.
