Cerebral metastases occur in 10–20% of patients with choriocarcinoma. Although single oncotic and pseudoaneurysms have been reported, multiple pseudoaneurysms and hemorrhages are rare. A 33–year–old woman developed 10 intracerebral hemorrhages over a 30–day period. Angiogram showed multiple focal areas of delayed contrast washout in distal vessels. Autopsy revealed intravascular choriocarcinoma without true aneurysm formation. A diagnosis of choriocarcinoma should be considered for women of childbearing age presenting with cerebrovascular syndromes, especially those found to have cerebral aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm, and/or hemorrhage.
