Figure 1
Figure 1
Urgent, non-contrast, axial brain CT scan of the patient. There are two left-sided hyperdense lesions which are indicative of acute intracerebral haemorrhages.
Figure 2
Figure 2
Urgent, non-contrast, axial brain CT scan at the level of basal ganglia and thalami. There are left-sided putaminal (red arrow) and thalamic haemorrhages (yellow arrow). The posterior limb of the left internal capsule (blue arrow) separates the two haemorrhages. The thalamic haemorrhage has dissected medially and has reached the third ventricle; note the appearance of blood within the frontal horn (black arrow) of the left lateral ventricle. The blood can also be seen within the occipital horns (orange arrows) of both lateral ventricles. These bleeds appear as blood/fluid levels below the calcified choroid plexuses (green arrow). Both haematomas act as space-occupying lesions; there are mass effects and mild midline shift.
