Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 43754
  • Image ID: 20702609
  • Image stack position: 5/56
  • Plane projection: Axial
  • Aux modality: DWI
  • Study description: MRI Brain
  • Study findings: There is wide diffuse abnormal signal involving all lobes of the hemispheres, characterized by cortical swelling and restricted diffusion (particularly of cortex, subcortical white matter, and deep grey matter - most notably the thalami). Generalized brain swelling is present with effacement of the basal cisterns. Within the limitations of this scan (which does not include MRV or MRA) dural venous sinuses appear normal, and flow voids are present in the major intracranial arteries. Air-fluid levels in both sphenoid sinuses. The orbits and calvarium appear unremarkable.
  • Modality: MRI
  • System: Central Nervous System
  • Findings: There is new global effacement of the sulci in both cerebral hemispheres as well as the sylvian fissures bilaterally. No acute intracranial hemorrhage or cortical infarct. Grey-white differentiation is maintained. Normal sulcal and ventricular pattern. No midline shift. No acute fracture or suspicious bony lesion. The imaged paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are aerated.
