Match the following clinical presentations and initial non-contrast head CT findings with the most likely specific type of intracranial hemorrhage.
- Sudden onset of a 'thunderclap' headache, nuchal rigidity, and photophobia; neuroimaging demonstrates hyperdensity extending into the basal cisterns and sylvian fissure.Subarachnoid hemorrhage
- Brief loss of consciousness following temporal head trauma, a subsequent lucid interval, and rapid neurologic deterioration; neuroimaging demonstrates a biconvex hyperdensity constrained by cranial sutures.Epidural hematoma
- Insidious onset of cognitive decline, fluctuating mental status, and gait instability over weeks following mild trauma in an elderly patient; neuroimaging demonstrates a crescent-shaped hypodensity.Chronic subdural hematoma
- Sudden onset of severe focal neurologic deficits, including dense hemiparesis, in a patient with medication nonadherence; neuroimaging demonstrates a hyperdensity localized to the putamen.Hypertensive intraparenchymal hemorrhage
Cevap
1 -> Subarachnoid hemorrhage, 2 -> Epidural hematoma, 3 -> Chronic subdural hematoma, 4 -> Hypertensive intraparenchymal hemorrhage
Intracranial hemorrhages are categorized by anatomical space and etiology. Subarachnoid hemorrhage fills the cisterns and causes meningeal irritation. Epidural hematoma (arterial origin) forms a high-pressure biconvex collection with a lucid interval. Chronic subdural hematoma (venous origin) forms a low-pressure crescentic hypodensity over weeks. Hypertensive hemorrhage classically strikes deep brain structures like the putamen.

Different types of intracranial hemorrhages present with characteristic timing (hyperacute vs. subacute), associated risk factors (trauma, aneurysms, hypertension), and specific morphologic patterns on non-contrast head CT.
