We report a case of acute enlargement of the ventricles within 7 hours after head injury that was documented by repeated computerized tomography. It is suggested that the pathophysiological mechanism for this rapid enlargement of ventricles may be due to the raised intracranial pressure (ICP) that results from obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid pathways by subarachnoid hemorrhage, in addition to the elevation of ICP aggravated by frequent focal convulsive seizures.
