Hemorrhage in the basal ganglia resulting to lenticulostriate artery aneurysm rupture is extremely rare. This distal micro-aneurysm of the perforating lenticulostriate arteries is called Charcot-Bouchard aneurysm. We wish to report a case of an hematoma in the basal ganglia due to a Charcot-Bouchard aneurysm demonstrated by Computed Tomography Angiograpy (CTA) and Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) and confirmed by selective catheter angiography. TEACHING POINT: Charcot-Bouchard aneurysm is a very rare distal micro-aneurysm of the perforating lenticulostriate arteries. Young patients who experience basal ganglia hemorrhage should have contrast-enhanced CT, especially if they don't have arterial hypertension and if subarachnoid hemorrhage is associated.
