Simultaneous onset of haemorrhagic and ischaemic strokes in a haemodialysis patient.

Primary brain haemorrhage and infarction only very rarely occur simultaneously. A patient with end stage renal disease from diabetic nephropathy suddenly had motor aphasia and horizontal nystagmus soon after finishing haemodialysis. Neuroradiological studies showed a haematoma on the right side of the pons and an infarct in the left frontal lobe with occlusion of the left internal carotid artery. Specific conditions of the haemodialysis--including anticoagulant use, relative hypovolaemia and hypertension just before haemodialysis, and an abrupt decrease in blood pressure during haemodialysis--seemed to be the major reason for the simultaneous onset of dual strokes.[1]
