Hemorrhagic stroke associated with essential thrombocythemia (ET) is very infrequent. Herein, we report a case of a 33-year-old woman with a 2-year history of ET who developed intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Angiography demonstrated severe vessel irregularity in the bilateral cerebral arteries. Molecular genetic testing revealed a calreticulin mutation. To our knowledge, hemorrhagic stroke has been reported in only six other patients with ET, and this is the first report of hemorrhagic stroke in an ET patient with a calreticulin mutation. We review the current literature and discuss the possible underlying mechanisms.
