The basal ganglia, which comprise many subcortical nuclei, constitute an integrated functional unit of the brain. Spontaneous hemorrhage of the basal ganglia is mostly unilateral and secondary to uncontrolled hypertension. Simultaneous bilateral basal ganglia hemorrhage (SBBGH) is very rare. So far, only 40 cases have been documented so far.
