"Caval-septal" hematoma: does it exist?
A "caval-septal" hematoma shown by computed tomography has been described in cases of ruptured aneurysms arising from the anterior communicating artery. This term seems to imply that the hematoma is confined to the cavum septi pellucidi. This common findings almost always represents a hematoma in the anterior interhemispheric fissure.
