FIG. 12 — Infarction as complication of cerebral herniation. Large right-sided holohemispheric subdural hematoma results in subfalcine (arrow, a) and uncal (arrow, b) herniation. Despite decompressive hemicraniectomy, the patient subsequently developed infarcts in the anterior cerebral artery (arrow, c) and posterior cerebral artery (short arrow, d) distributions due to subfalcine and uncal herniation, respectively. Note also infarction of the posterior limb of the right internal capsule (long arrow, d) which is due to compression of the anterior choroidal artery with uncal herniation.
