Spontaneous intracerebral haematoma caused by metastatic neplasies are reported in 11 patients, 8 males and 3 females, with age between 19 and 74 years. We had 7 melanomas, 3 carcinomas and one choriocarcinoma. The presenting symptoms were those of classical spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage with a history of sudden headache, coma or stupor, hemiparesis or hemiplegia or other focal signal, and bloody cerebrospinal fluid. Three patients presented more than one hemorrhagic episodes. In four cases the computado-rized tomography revealed multiples lesions. Seven patients were operated by large craniotomy with evacuation of the hematoma and in one a cerebral biopsy reveled a melanoma and in the other six a large tumoral mass was removed. The average survival was 39 days.
