CT of intracerebral haemorrhage due to mycotic aneurysms--case report.
The CT findings in a case of intracerebral haematoma due to rupture of a mycotic aneurysm are presented. In addition to the haematoma, CT demonstrated small focal areas of cortical enhancement, which corresponded to the peripheral aneurysms seen on angiography. Such findings are thought to be characteristic; a brief differential diagnosis is discussed.
