    Background : The Stroke due to intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Concurrent traumas such as crushing injury to extremities or chest and abdominal trauma may demand surgical intervention. The anesthetic management of extracranial surgery becomes challenging in the context of a concurrent intracranial lesion. Peripheral nerve block for foot surgery in those patients offers some advantages but is scarcely reported. Case Illustration : A 63-year-old man presented with an open wound on his left foot due to a grinding wheel injury 1 day before admission. The complaint was accompanied by weakness of the right limbs and inability to speak. He had an ischemic stroke 1 year ago. Motor assessment revealed right hemiparesis. Computed Tomography (CT) scan of the head showed an ICH in the left lentiform nucleus area, old infarcts in the right lentiform nucleus region, and multiple infarcts in the subcortical regions of the bilateral parietal lobes. He was diagnosed with an open fracture of the left proximal phalanx of the middle finger, a closed fracture of the left 4th metatarsal, 1st–4th digitorum tendon rupture of the left foot, and recurrent stroke on the contralateral side due to intracerebral hemorrhage of the left carotid system. The patient was classified as ASA III. He underwent tendon repair, open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) with K wire, and debridement. Anesthesia was done with femorosciatic block using bupivacaine 0.4%. The patient’s motor function was restored eight hours after the procedure without complications. Conclusion : Peripheral nerve block is a safe and effective anesthetic approach for patients undergoing foot surgery with concurrent hemorrhagic stroke.
