It’s a part of multi organ failure that accompanies acute pancreatitis, usually presenting early (within 2 weeks)in the disease. We report a case of intra cerebral hemorrhage as a complication of acute pancreatitis in a 58 year old female who presented with the chief complaint of abdominal pain located in the epigastric region and after three days of presentation developed weakness in left upper and lower limbs. Amylase and lipase levels were elevated but the other lab workup was non-contributory. MRI brain showed right parieto occipital bleed. Patient improved in terms of power of limbs and started walking with support in 10 days with the help of conservative management. Key words - Intracerebral hemorrhage, Acute Pancreatitis
