ABSTRACT
Nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage is an important health issue. Although common causes such as hypertension and cerebral amyloid angiopathy predominantly affect the elderly, there exists a spectrum of uncommon etiologies that contribute to the overall incidence of intracerebral hemorrhage. The identification of these rare causes is essential for targeted clinical management, informed prognostication, and strategic secondary prevention where relevant. This topical review explores the uncommon intracerebral hemorrhage causes and provides practical clues for their clinical and imaging identification. By expanding the clinician’s differential diagnosis, this review aims to bridge the gap between standard intracerebral hemorrhage classification systems and the nuanced reality of clinical practice.
