In aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage, blood on head CT is typically located in the {{c1::basal cisterns::anatomical region}}; larger volumes may extend into the {{c2::ventricles}} or {{c2::parenchyma}}

- The "Star of Death": Blood filling the basal cisterns at the base of the brain typically forms a classic star-like shape on a non-contrast head CT.
- Clinical Significance: Intraventricular extension of blood is a major risk factor for acute obstructive hydrocephalus (due to clotting in the arachnoid villi/aqueduct).
