Head Injury
Head trauma is the leading cause of death in people under the age of 30.
Males have 2-3 x frequency of brain injury than females

What is the initial radiological investigation for the evaluation of Comatose patient/sever headache?
BrainCT
![Page 21: Neuroradiology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/568138a8550346895da0687b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
CT has the advantage of being available 24 hours a day and is the gold standard for hemorrhage.
On CT 60% of infarcts are seen within 3-6 hrs and virtually all are seen in 24 hours.
The overall sensitivity of CT to diagnose stroke is 64% and the specificity is 85%.
The most important issue to determine when imaging a stroke patient is whether one is dealing with a hemorrhagic or ischemic event.

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)
Presents as sudden worse headache of life.
Appears as linear high density in the sulci.
Intracranial aneurysms cause of approximately 80% of non-traumatic SAH.
![Page 23: Neuroradiology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/568138a8550346895da0687b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)
SAH most commonly results from aneurysmal rupture.
Appears as linear high density in the sulci, fissures, basal cisterns and ventricles.

Subdural haemorrhage
Subdural haemorrhage (SDH) is a collection of blood accumulating in the potential space between the dura and arachnoid mater of the meninges around the brain.
![Page 26: Neuroradiology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/568138a8550346895da0687b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Extradural hemorrhage
An extradural haematoma (EDH) (also known as an epidural haematoma) is a collection of blood which forms between the inner surface of the skull and outer layer of dura.

stroke
Stroke is a clinical term for sudden, focal neurological deficit.
Stroke accounts for one out of every 15 deaths in the United States.
![Page 30: Neuroradiology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/568138a8550346895da0687b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
stroke
Strokes are classified into two major types:
Hemorrhagic strokes: Are due to rupture of a cerebral blood vessel that causes bleeding into or around the brain. Hemorrhagic strokes account for 16% of all strokes.
Ischemic stroke:Is caused by blockage of blood flow in a major cerebral blood vessel, usually due to a blood clot. Ischemic strokes account for about 84% of all strokes.
![Page 31: Neuroradiology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/568138a8550346895da0687b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Ischemic stroke
Caused by:
Thrombosis.
Hypoperfusion infarctions.
![Page 32: Neuroradiology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/568138a8550346895da0687b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Ischemic stroke
Changes of acute ischemia due to edema which include the following:• Obscuration of the
lentiform nuclei.• Loss of insular ribbon.• Loss of gray/white
distinction.• Sulcal effacement.
![Page 33: Neuroradiology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/568138a8550346895da0687b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Ischemic stroke
Loss of insular ribbon:Is the loss of the gray-white interface in the lateral margins of the insula.
![Page 34: Neuroradiology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/568138a8550346895da0687b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Ischemic stroke
A lacunar infarction occurs when the walls of small arteries thicken and cause the occlusion of the artery. These typically involve the small perforating vessels of the brain and result in lesions that are less than 1.5 cm in size.
![Page 35: Neuroradiology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/568138a8550346895da0687b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Hemorrhagic strokes
Intra-cerebral hemorrhage is the most common, accounting for 10% of all strokes.
Subarachnoid hemorrhage, due to rupture of a cerebral aneurysm, accounts for 6% of strokes overall.
![Page 36: Neuroradiology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/568138a8550346895da0687b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The most common cause of non-traumatic intra-cerebral hematoma is hypertensive hemorrhage.
Hemorrhagic strokes
![Page 37: Neuroradiology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/568138a8550346895da0687b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
It often appears as a high-density hemorrhage in the region of the basal ganglia.
Blood may extend into the ventricular system.
Intra-ventricular extension of the hematoma is associated with a poor prognosis.
