Massive spontaneous corpus callosal hemorrhage with intraventricular extension

Abstract

Spontaneous hemorrhage into the corpus callosum with intraventricular extension is uncommon. In the present article we describe a case 60 year female who had massive hemorrhage along the corpus callosum involving genu, body of corpus callosum and extending on ventral as well as dorsal aspect of the corpus callosum with intraventricular extension and areas of hypodensities in the body of the corpus callosum and adjacent cerebral cortex. In this case the subarachnoid and corpus callosal hemorrhage probably resulted from the ruptured aneurysms of the anterior cerebral artery.
