Bloody Ventriculography: Intracerebral Hemorrhage Artistically Casting the Ventricular System’s Anatomy Into a Bird’s Head

Causes of intracerebral hemorrhage are mostly attributed to vascular anomalies or hypertension. It causes significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. This illustrative case report presents an interesting computed tomography image of hyperacute basal ganglia hemorrhage with intraventricular extension artistically casting the ventricular system. The intraventricular hemorrhage was moderate upon presentation; the blood had delineated the anatomic details of the ventricular system. It closely resembles a Crax rubra’s head in the sagittal view. We believe that this radiographic finding is not seen frequently, especially early in the course of the condition. However, it could serve as an intriguing and reproducible sign of the radiographic anatomy of the ventricular system.
