BACKGROUND: Henoch-Schoenlein syndrome (HSS) is the most common form of vasculitis seen in childhood. The clinical diagnosis is based on the association of nonthrombocytopenic purpura, arthritis and abdominal pain. Nephropathy is the most common complication. Hemorrhages can occur in the respiratory, gastrointestinal and urinary tracts. Neurological complications are rare, though they may be particularly severe. CASE REPORT AND DISCUSSION: Intracranial hemorrhage is an extremely rare complication of the disease; we report the case of a child with cerebral hemorrhage in HSS and review the literature.
