CT helps in identifying the location of the hemorrhage, any intraventricular extension, surrounding edema, mass effect, midline shift, or herniation and also estimates the hemorrhage volume. Product of three dimensions of the hematoma divided by two gives a rough volume of the hematoma. This helps in improved communication between care providers and also for prognostication, as one-third of patients will have hematoma expansion on a follow-up CT within first 3 h of symptom onset [12]. CT can also be utilized for guidance for surgical evacuation of the hematoma or for placement of external ventricular drain for those patients with ICH having an intraventricular extension and associated obstructive hydrocephalus.
