Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) — CT Brain (Non-contrast) Key radiological features (concise): 1. Hyperdense Intraparenchymal Lesion Acute blood = hyperdense (bright) (≈60–80 HU) Common sites: basal ganglia (putamen), thalamus, lobar, cerebellum, brainstem 2. Surrounding Edema Hypodense rim around hematoma (perihematomal edema) Develops within hours → increases over days 3. Mass Effect Effacement of sulci, ventricles Midline shift (quantify if needed) Compression of adjacent structures 4. Intraventricular Extension Hyperdense blood in ventricles May show fluid–fluid level / layering Risk of acute hydrocephalus 5. Shape & Margins Typically irregular or round/oval May have heterogeneous density (active bleed, clot retraction) “Swirl sign” → hypodense areas within clot (ongoing bleeding) 6. Location Clues (Etiology hint) Deep (putamen/thalamus) → hypertensive Lobar → amyloid angiopathy, tumor, AVM Multiple → metastasis, coagulopathy 7. Evolution (brief) Hyperacute (0–6 h):...
