As reported in CT scan head acute haemorrhage at right thalamus, detergent peduncle with intraventricular extension in lateral and 3rd ventricle with midline shift , cerebral oedema, obstructive hydrocephalus and left hemiparesis. A MRI scan is required to find out the cause of hydrocephalus. Most likely a hypertensive haemorrhage. Get an ABG done , depending upon the report, a ventilatory support is required. Control of hypertension and stop aspirin and clopidogrel if at all taking . Decongestive therapy with Inj mannitol 100 ml × 8 hourly till patient responds and then glycerol through R.T can be substituted. Inj Eptoin , pantoprazole, supportive treatment. A neurosurgical consultation regarding craniotomy or VP SHUNT for hydrocephalus is required
