Abstract
The CT appearance of acute intracerebral hemorrhage is well known and has virtually diagnostic value. The course of resolving intracerebral hematoma has also been well described (1, 3, 4, 8, 9–11). In some reports attention has been drawn to the fact, that in contrast-enhanced studies during resorption of hematoma a peripheral ring blush is frequently observed (5–7, 9, 12). Without a previous scan for comparison this finding may pose various differential diagnostic problems with respect to the stage of resorption (2, 4).
