A 7-year-old boy presented with acute onset of left hemiparesis and headache, followed by disturbance of consciousness. Neuroimaging studies showed pontine hemorrhage. Surgery was performed to remove a massive hematoma. Histological examination of the wall revealed anaplastic astrocytoma. Postoperative radiation therapy and several types of chemotherapy were administered. However, the tumor recurred and he died 9 months after onset. Hemorrhagic onset of pontine glioma is rare and carries an extremely poor prognosis.
