  3. Subarachnoid cisterns - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subarachnoid_cisterns

    The subarachnoid cisterns are spaces formed by openings in the subarachnoid space, an anatomic space in the meninges of the brain. [1] The space is situated between the two meninges, the arachnoid mater and the pia mater.

  4. Pseudosubarachnoid hemorrhage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudosubarachnoid_hemorrhage

    A pseudosubarachnoid hemorrhage is an apparent increased attenuation on CT scans within the basal cisterns that mimics a true subarachnoid hemorrhage. [1] This occurs in cases of severe cerebral edema, such as by cerebral hypoxia.

  5. Intracranial hemorrhage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracranial_hemorrhage

    SAH in CAA can be differentiated from vasculitis by its presentations. SAH in CAA usually occurs in those who age more than 60 years, temporary motor and sensory deficits, and intracranial bleed in white matter adjacent to cerebral cortex. Basal ganglia, posterior fossa, and brainstem are spared.

  6. Interpeduncular cistern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpeduncular_cistern

    The interpeduncular cistern (or basal cistern [1]) is the subarachnoid cistern situated between the dorsum sellae (anteriorly) [2] and the two cerebral peduncles [1] [3] [2] at the front of the midbrain. [3]

  7. Terson syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terson_syndrome

    Patients frequently exhibit signs of Terson's syndrome because the illness frequently coexists with cerebral hemorrhages such as subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). These could include a severe headache (referred to as a "thunderclap headache" in situations of SAH), nausea and vomiting, changed mental status or confusion, and stiff neck (caused by ...

  8. Cerebellopontine angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebellopontine_angle

    The cerebellopontine angle (CPA) (Latin: angulus cerebellopontinus) is located between the cerebellum and the pons. [1] The cerebellopontine angle is the site of the cerebellopontine angle cistern.

  9. Intracranial aneurysm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracranial_aneurysm

    If an aneurysm ruptures, blood leaks into the space around the brain. This is called a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Onset is usually sudden without prodrome, classically presenting as a "thunderclap headache" worse than previous headaches. [11] [12] Symptoms of a subarachnoid hemorrhage differ depending on the site and size of the aneurysm. [12]
