Patients supported by left ventricular-assist devices are at high risk of bleeding, but among the numerous hemorrhagic complications, those involving the corpus callosum are very uncommon. We report the case of a 35-year-old woman who suddenly experienced neurological symptoms 4 months after HeartMate II implantation. Cranial computed tomography showed a voluminous hematoma involving the corpus callosum.
