A subarachnoid hemorrhage is said to be perimesencephalic if:
- The center of bleeding is located immediately anterior to the midbrain.
- There is no parenchymal hematoma.
- Subarachnoid blood can be seen in the posterior part of the anterior interhemispheric fissure, as long as there is not complete filling of the anterior interhemispheric fissure.
- There may be extension of blood to the basal part of the sylvian fissure, as long as there is no major extension to the lateral sylvian fissure.
- Small amounts of intraventricular blood may layer dependently, but frank intraventricular hemorrhage should not be seen.
