Spontaneous, nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common cancer diagnosed in children. According to the literature, only 6 cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia presenting as intracerebral hemorrhage have been reported. Five out of the 6 patients were managed conservatively; 3 out of these 6 patients survived with correction of coagulopathy. Surgical intervention was performed in only 1 of the previously reported cases in which the patient could not be salvaged. We report a case of life-threatening intracerebral hemorrhage in previously undiagnosed acute T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia with blast crisis, in which the patient was salvaged from the catastrophic complication after surgical intervention.
