Five out of 160 cases of lacunar infarcts were preceded or followed by intracerebral hemorrhage. Four patients were hypertensive. This association raises the question of a common risk factor in lacunar infarct and intracranial hemorrhage. The possibility that these different stroke types may be due to the same arteriolar pathology is discussed.
