She suffered from diabetes mellitus and hypertension for 3 years. Neurologic examination showed left hemiparesis and homonymous hemianopsia. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance images revealed hematoma in variable stages with surrounding edema in right parieto-occipital area. Cerebral angiogrpahy showed no vascular lesion.
