Hemorrhagic Brain Metastases as a Diagnosis of Exclusion: A Diagnostic Dilemma

We have read with great interest the study published in The American Journal of Medicine by Juan et  al.1 The authors presented a patient with symptoms of left hemiparesis and left facial palsy for whom computed tomography of the brain showed a single hemorrhagic lesion in the right basal ganglia. They also reported that the patient had a medical history of adenocarcinoma of the lung and hyperten sion. They presented a diagnostic dilemma, with hemorrhagic stroke or hemorrhagic brain metastasis as the cause of the hemorrhagic lesion.
