Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 55399
  • Image ID: 32425505
  • Image stack position: 51/53
  • Plane projection: Axial
  • Aux modality: bone window
  • Study description: CTB Day 0
  • Modality: CT
  • System: Central Nervous System
  • Findings: CT obtained on admission (D0) demonstrates a right occipital scalp hematoma with no underlying fracture. Large bilateral frontal and temporal hemorrhagic contusions (contrecoup) with overlying traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. A small amount of subdural hemorrhage is also seen layering on the tentorium, particularly on the right. A lucency through the left parietal bone on bone windows (contralateral to the scalp hematoma) looks to be an undisplaced fracture. It appears very similar to a vascular channel but does extend over too many slices. It heads towards, but does not reach, the petrous temporal bone. Unfortunately, I cannot locate multiplanar images to confirm this on other planes. Thanks to Dr MG for pointing this out to me.
