:Infarction of the basal ganglia after minor head injury �is a� well described entity .�Mineralising angiopathy� is a term to describe mineralisation along� the lenticulostriate vessels that predisposes infants to stroke,even after trivial head injury.(1)The prognosis in these children is excellent.The supratentorial compartment is relatively mobile in comparision to the fixed infratentorial compartment �offering greater shearing forces between the perforating vessels and the brain parenchyma following �an acute trauma.(2)The acute angulation of the lenticulostriate perforators is further responsible for its propensity of the basal ganglia for the insult.(3) The current report is unique as it presents a young boy with hemorrhagic stroke in the�� basal ganglia after a trivial trauma and �imaging findings suggestive of mineralising angiopathy
