A neurosurgeon is attempting to remove a brain tumor from the third ventricle and decide on an intercallosal approach (through the midsagittal plane of the head). However, tey make the mistake of cutting the dura along the midsagittal plane and accidentally cut a large vein. They attain hemostasis through electrocautery and sutures and decide to stop the case and retry in a few days when the patient has recovered. Little did they know that they accidentally occluded this vein. What should a CT scan taken 24 hours post-op show? (Assume they haven’t died yet)
