Hospitalized in the Neurological clinic of Fann National Teaching Hospital in DakarSenegal for hemorrhagic stroke in a context of high blood pressure and bleeding disorder made of a hemorrhagic syndrome. The patient was treated symptomatically with antihypertensive drugs, physiotherapy; its vital prognosis was good and he is still followed in the service.
