Case ReportHistory

Prior Study
Findings
T1-w MR pre contrast
The right dorsal thalamic hematoma has heterogeneous intensities. Most of it is isointense with only a small central part being hyperintense (met-Hgb); the margin around the hematoma is similar to CSF intensity. There is subtle hyperintense area in the left cerebellar dentate nucleus, again with an adjacent low T1 MR intensity. Findings suggest the acute hemorrhages are recurrent in prior areas of hemorrhage. The left posterior parietal small hemorrhage is isointense to brain.
There is local mass effect related to the thalamic right hematoma. There is compression of the right venticular trigone without isolation of the right temporal horn. There is no significant downward incisural herniation.
The blood in the occipital horns is present but is less well seen on noncontrast T1 MR sequence.
