This case report presents a patient who has undergone surgery for subarachnoid haemorrhage. A week after removal of the patient’s drainage tube, a check-up examination of CSF was performed. The CSF sample had a pale orange colour, so-called ‘xanthochromia’, which is caused by the presence of bilirubin, a degradation product of haemoglobin.
