Imaging: blood within cerebral parenchyma, if etiology is uncertain perform MRI and MRA or CTA to look for vascular causes
Complications: herniation
Treatment: evacuation of clot
Cases of Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Coronal US of the brain (below) shows echogenic material in right subdural space. Coronal and sagittal US of the brain (above) shows a right parietal round mixed echogenicity lesion.Axial CT without contrast of the brain shows mixed-density fluid in the left lateral ventricle posteriorly and mixed-density fluid in the left parietal-occipital lobe. There is also diffuse prominence of the sulci and ventricular system.Coronal and sagittal US of the brain shows a large, round echogenic lesion in the left parietal lobe.Sagittal, coronal and axial CT without contrast of the brain shows a large, round high density lesion in the right parietal lobe.
