Fig. 1 Axial brain CT slices: (A and B) on admission and (C) 2 days later following subdural evacuation. A: A large right subdural hematoma with a marked midline shift and a relative left ventriculomegaly. B: Widened ipsilateral prepontine cistern (arrowhead) with leftward rostral brainstem shift, with a dilated left temporal horn (arrow). C: Left occipital-lobe infarction with residual tentorial subdural hematoma. The leftward brainstem shift and left temporal horn enlargement have both improved.
