This case highlights the disastrous consequences of poorly controlled hypertension, emphasizing the need for better patient education and management.
Hypertension is still a silent killer, and many enlightened persons are not aware of this. We report a 44-year-old male, hypertensive but poorly controlled, who was discovered unconscious and found to have a pontine hemorrhage. This case highlights areas of improvement in the case management and the need for improved efforts at education for good control and management of hypertension.
