case_images: (a-d) The brain is edematous with evidence of subarachnoid bleeding overlying the cortical surface upon opening the dura. Blood clots can be seen protruding out through a defect in the cortical surface (a). On further exploration, an intraparenchymal clot was noted in the region of the temporal lobe (b). Following evacuation of the clot, the brain appears more relaxed (c). A noncontrast computed tomographic image of the brain taken after the surgery reveals evidence of residual intraparenchymal clots in the temporal region

case_images: The clot was evacuated and subsequently a left selective amygdalo-hippocampectomy was performed [Figure 1a-c]. A computed tomographic (CT) scan of his brain revealed the presence of a small residual temporoparietal intraparenchymal clot as well as bleeding with the subarachnoid space especially in the region of the left sylvian fissure [Figure 1d].
