ABSTRACT
Intracranial hemorrhage is a prevalent ailment in Pakistan,[1] and the number of patients being referred to tertiary care hospitals due to intracranial bleeding has been continuously increasing,[1] owing to contemporary lifestyles and prevailing traffic conditions.[2] The causes of intracranial hemorrhage are multifaceted, encompassing Trauma,[3] Hypertension, Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Hemorrhagic Conversion of Ischemic Infarction, Cerebral Aneurysms, Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM), Dural Atrioventricular Fistula (DAVF), Vasculitis, Tumor Bleed, and Venous Sinus Thrombosis. Trainee doctors may commit errors while interpreting Computed Tomography (CT) scans of such patients, resulting in suboptimal patient management. The principal objective of this paper is to aid trainee physicians in the diagnosis of pathology and standardization of treatment by scrutinizing the imaging of these patients.[4,5]
