  		Fig 1. A, nonenhanced computerized tomography showing left-sided ganglionic bleeding with penetration of the blood into the left lateral ventricle.

B and C, contrast-enhanced computerized tomography (CECT) showing supraclionoid segments of both internal carotid arteries and tortuous and dilated basilar artery.

D, CECT, bone window shows symmetrical and normally shaped carotid channels within hyperaerated petrous bones.
