case_images: Patient's brain computed tomography. (A) The first brain CT in our hospital.Red arrow represents left cerebellar hematoma. (B) On the 15th day of hospitalization, the patient had sudden bilateral pupillary dilatation and the brain CT revealed hydrocephalus. (C) CSF culture was negative, and the brain CT revealed hydrocephalus relief; however, there was a separation of the fourth ventricles.Red arrow represents the fourth ventricle dilated.

case_images: Computed tomography (CT) of the brain revealed a left cerebellar hematoma (Figure 1A). CT suggested hydrocephalus (Figure 1B). Considering a severe intracranial infection resulting in ventricular adhesions, a right EVD was performed, enhancing CSF drainage to 200 mL per day. A head CT revealed hydrocephalus relief; however, the fourth ventricle remained dilated (Figure 1C).
