Contrast enhanced CT:IV injection of contrast medium is often given because the abnormality not seen in pre contrast scans may be rendered visible following contrast enhancement (consequence of breakdown of blood brain barrier allowing contrast to enter the lesion particularly in neoplasm, infection, inflammation and certain stage of ischemia).
Also it is helpful in demonstrating blood vessels

In acute stroke, very early cranial CT may be normal. Perfusion CT shows great promise in refining the selection of patients suitable for thrombolysis, as it can accurately determine infarct core from potentially salvageable ischaemic penumbra.
Some cerebral tumours are associated with angiogenesis and a breakdown of the blood-brain barrier. Angiogenesis can be detected as an increase in flow and volume parameters, and blood-brain barrier breakdown can be quantified as contrast accumulates in the interstitial space. Such aggressive features can distinguish malignant from benign tumours when standard imaging may not.

• A-com aneurysm ⇒ interhemispheric fissure• P-com aneurysm ⇒ ipsilateral basal cisterns• MCA trifurcation ⇒ sylvian fissure
• Basilar tip ⇒ interpeduncular cistern, intraventricular
• PICA ⇒ posterior fossa cisterns,
intraventricular

• Nonenhanced CT is the initial investigation of choice
• Exclude hemorrhage and underlying mass or AVM
Imaging findings:• Normal in early stroke• Hyperdense clot in the affected artery• Insular ribbon sign• Sulcal effacement• Cytotoxic edema develops by 6 hours

Ischemic strokeIschemic stroke
• Acute infarction cannot be excluded on the basis of a negative CT.
• Diffusion weighted MRI is most sensitive for detecting acute infarction
• Hemorrhagic transformation can develop in the subacute stage (gradient echo MRI)

Unenhanced CT scans show subdural hemorrhage along falx and tentorium cerebelli, simulating sagittal and transverse sinus thrombosis.

Brain edemaBrain edema
• Cytotoxic: - Due to cellular swelling
- In the setting of cerebral ischemia
- Involves both gray and white matter
• Vasogenic: - Disruption of BBB and leakage of fluid
outside capillaries
- Associated with tumors and abscesses
- Involves only the white matter

Diffuse brain edemaDiffuse brain edema
• Causes include: ischemia and severe head injury
• High morbidity and mortality
• Effacement of the cortical sulci and basal cisterns
• Loss of gray/white matter interface
• White cerebellum sign

Cerebral herniationCerebral herniation
• Mechanical displacement of the brain secondary to mass effect
• Causes neurologic dysfunction and vascular compromise
• Types:
- Subfalcine
- Transtentorial (descending, ascending)
- Tonsillar

Cerebral herniationCerebral herniation
• Subfalcine herniation:
- The cingulate gyrus slips under the falx cerebri
- Compression of the ipsilateral ventricle and enlargement of the contralateral ventricle
- ACA ischemia

Cerebral herniationCerebral herniation
• Descending transtentorial herniation (uncal):
- The medial temporal lobe displaces through the tentorial notch
- Presents clinically with deteriorating level of consciousness, ipsilateral 3rd nerve palsy and contralateral motor deficit
- Effacement of the ipsilateral suprasellar cistern and enlargement of the ipsilateral CPA cistern
- The midbrain impacts the contralateral tentorium (Kernohan’s phenomenon, Duret hemorrhage)
- PCA ischemia
