  abstract = {Background and Importance: Simultaneous bilateral intracerebral haemorrhages (ICH) are exceedingly rare with only a few cases reported in the literature. Identified causes include systemic arterial hypertension, amyloid angiopathy, vasculitis, diabetic ketoacidosis and cerebral mucormycosis. Only 19 cases report an association between haemorrhagic infarct and preceding carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Clinical Presentation: We describe a case in which recent CO poisoning may have been a significant predisposing factor to the development of bilateral basal ganglia haemorrhages. When maximum medical management failed to control raised intracranial pressure, bilateral decompressive craniectomies were undertaken. Conclusion: To our knowledge there have been no reported cases of CO poisoning causing spontaneous bilateral basal ganglia haemorrhage, managed with decompressive craniectomy.},
