Figures

Figure 1
Figure 1. Initial Head CT
(A) Initial noncontrast head CT showing a small right thalamic intracerebral hemorrhage and right lateral ventricular hemorrhage (IVH) with the ventriculoperitoneal shunt tip in the right lateral ventricle. (B) Small IVH in 4th ventricle, but no hydrocephalus or mass effect. IVH = intraventricular hemorrhage.
Figure 2
Figure 2. Follow-up Head CT
(A) Repeated noncontrast head CT showing 20 mL right thalamic ICH with massive IVH, casting of right lateral ventricle and extension into left lateral ventricle. (B) Rostral midbrain ICH, IVH with casting of 3rd ventricle and left temporal horn, obstructive hydrocephalus, and mass effect. (C) IVH with casting of 4th ventricle, obstructive hydrocephalus, and mass effect. ICH = intracerebral hemorrhage; IVH = intraventricular hemorrhage.
