Abstract

ECT is generally regarded as a safe and efficient treatment. In this case report, a 76-year-old female patient did not wake up as expected after ECT. The patient was transferred to the emergency department, and a CT-scan showed an intracerebral haemorrhage. She died within two days of the event, and an autopsy confirmed the diagnosis and did not reveal any underlying cerebral pathology.
