Intracerebral hemorrhage with massive milk-like serous fluid: a rare case report

Computed tomography (CT) scans of acute cerebral hemorrhage are often characterized by high-density imaging with occasional mixed density and low-density imaging features. Possible reasons for this are a lack of blood coagulation, extravasation of cerebrospinal fluid, and brain tissue edema. It is r...

Summary:Computed tomography (CT) scans of acute cerebral hemorrhage are often characterized by high-density imaging with occasional mixed density and low-density imaging features. Possible reasons for this are a lack of blood coagulation, extravasation of cerebrospinal fluid, and brain tissue edema. It is rarely due to the accumulation of lipid components associated with hyperlipidemia. In the present case, preoperative lipid tests and the intraoperative finding of a large amount of milky white fluid surrounding the hematoma confirmed that the low-density imaging surrounding the hematoma visible on the CT scan represented a rare case of lipid accumulation.
