Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 57697
  • Image ID: 35059362
  • Image stack position: 20/34
  • Plane projection: Axial
  • Aux modality: non-contrast
  • Study description: CT Brain (3 days later)
  • Study findings: No intracranial hemorrhage. There are a few ill-defined tiny areas of white matter hypoattenuation scattered through both cerebral hemispheres, which were not evident on the previous imaging. The grey-white matter differentiation is preserved. Ventricular system and cisternal spaces appear normal. Fourth ventricle likely choroid calcification. The visualized orbits, paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, and calvaria appear unremarkable. Conclusion: A few brain parenchyma hypodense foci are, in this clinical scenario, suspicious for either diffuse axonal injuries that have become more evident or cerebral fat embolism. Further MRI advised.
  • Modality: CT
  • System: Central Nervous System
  • Findings: No acute cranial hemorrhage. No intra or extra-axial mass or collection. No hydrocephalus. Calcification in the right 4th ventricle is most likely to incidentally represent further choroid calcification. No calvarial, base of skull or facial bone fracture.
