Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is a highly serious neurological emergency, associated with significant morbidity and mortality and a potential risk of permanent neurological sequelae. An adequate diagnostic approach requires the precise identification of the bleeding pattern, its anatomical topography, the volume and extent of the hemorrhage, as well as the presence of associated lesions and possible underlying etiological factors. In this context, imaging methods play a central role, with emphasis on computed tomography (CT), widely used in the acute phase due to its speed and high sensitivity for detecting blood, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), particularly useful in the temporal characterization of hemorrhage, in identifying subacute or chronic bleeding and in etiological investigation. This article proposes a systematic review of the main radiological findings observed in different types of intracranial hemorrhage, establishing a correlation with the pathophysiological mechanisms involved and their clinical and prognostic repercussions.
