Head computed tomography (CT) scans showed a high-density area at the left temporo-parietal lobe with surrounding edema (Figure 1).
Plain computed tomography scan at 18 hours after admission showed increase in hematoma volume (A) and development of low-density areas in posterior (B) and middle cerebral artery (C) territories.

Middle-power view. Parenchymal loss and loosely remaining damaged brain tissue in an infarcted area. Numerous macrophages with slight to moderate lipidization appear in the damaged areas, especially around the capillaries, which show endothelial proliferation. Secondary hemorrhage is evident around the capillaries.
