The classic locations for hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhages are the basal ganglia, thalamus, pons and cerebellum. However, hypertension can also result in lobar hemorrhages. In these cases, it is essential to exclude other causes of bleeding, including an underlying vascular malformation or tumor. In the very elderly, amyloid angiopathy is a common cause of lobar hemorrhage. The symptoms depend on the location of the hemorrhage.
