title: Intraventricular hemorrhage originating from choroid plexus angioma in a road accident victim.
abstract: A 76-year-old woman sustained severe multiple injuries when hit by a car. During the treatment a massive intraventricular hemorrhage was found by computer tomography. The postmortem examination revealed no craniocerebral injuries except for a small contused wound of the scalp. Microscopic examinations revealed a choroid plexus angioma in the lateral ventricle as the cause of the hemorrhage into cerebral ventricles.
