Educational objective: Spontaneous deep intracerebral hemorrhage is typically caused by hypertensive vasculopathy involving the penetrating branches of the major cerebral arteries.

Putaminal hemorrhage often produces contralateral hemiparesis and contralateral sensory loss due to injury of the adjacent internal capsule.
