Abstract
The association of cerebral thrombophlebitis with cerebral hematoma is an uncommon situation. Hematomas are often satellite or indicative of thrombophlebitis. Its incidence is too low on average 2% [1], it is increased with the risk factors of hypercoagulability [2]. The diagnosis with clinical polymorphism and imaging thrombophlebitis is often obscured at first glance by the presence of cerebral hematoma. Our observation is a clinical presentation of a large cerebral hematoma indicative of thrombophlebitis in the presence of a convulsive state with laborious therapeutic management. This required a neurosurgical resuscitation team which had targeted thrombophlebitis in its management. The short and long course is often favorable if the management is early, adequate and careful.
