Thalamic haemorrhage – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/262441077

Haemorrhage to the thalamus causing acute neurological dysfunction. The clinical presentation can be very varied, given the thalamus has a central and pivotal role in multiple neural pathways. Thalamic hemorrhages are a common form of intracerebral hemorrhage and usually are a result of poorly controlled long-standing hypertension, although also have other causes.
