EMERGENCY CT CHECKLIST1.Is the middle of the brain in the middle of the head?2.Do the two sides of the brain look alike?3.Can you see the smile and the pentagon or Jewish star?4.Is the fourth ventricle in the midline and more or less symmetrical?5.Are the lateral ventricles huge, with effaced sulci?
