✦ Synopsis

A 69-year-old female presented with a 6-week history of left-sided weakness and a large cerebral mass on computed tomographic scan and magnetic resonance imaging. The patient subsequently had an acute intracerebral hemorrhage with uncal and tonsillar herniation. Postmortem examination revealed an acute cerebral hemorrhage from a pilocytic astrocytoma-adult type. These cerebral neoplasms are rarely associated with hemorrhage.
