Penetrating skull injury leading to intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a severe form of traumatic brain injury that can result in significant morbidity and mortality. This case report describes successful treatment of a 22-year-old male patient who developed a massive cerebral hemorrhage within two hours of a small cerebral hemorrhage after a stab wound to the head. The patient was initially observed for the small cerebral hemorrhage in the emergency department, but his condition deteriorated rapidly and he became unconscious. Urgent CT scans revealed a significant increase in the size of the hemorrhage, with mass effect and midline shift. The patient was taken to the operating room for urgent craniotomy and evacuation of the hematoma. The surgery was successful and the patient made a good recovery. This case report highlights the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of penetrating skull injuries with ICH.
