A brief note on CT & MRI scans• CT is the initial investigation of choice for suspected
intracranial haemorrhage and stroke• MRI is much more sensitive to cerebral parenchymal
change and is the preferred investigation in most non-emergency situations, especially suspected tumours
• MRI is sometimes used if CT negative & brainstem or cerebellar stroke/TIA suspected
• Blood is generally dark on CT, bright on MRI• Changes due to haemorrhage resolve within days on a
CT scan but may persist for months/years on MRI scan

Question 11. What is the
most likely diagnosis?
2. Where is the bleed most likely to have come from?
3. How would you expect the patient to present?
1. Acute R extradural haematoma. Note the high density of the haematoma. Slight midline shift is present.
2. They usually develop from skull # => injury to the middle meningeal artery or its branches.
3. H/O trauma, lucid interval btw injury and deterioration in consciousness, severe headache, vomiting, confusion, fits, hemiparesis, brisk reflexes and plantars up, ipsilateral pupil dilation

Question 21. What is the
most likely diagnosis?
2. Where is the bleed most likely to have come from?
3. How would you expect the patient to present?
1. Low density collection typical of a chronic subdural haematoma, with associated midline shift. Note sickle-shaped collection
2. Bleeding from veins between cortex and venous sinuses, usually secondary to falls/minor head trauma
3. Insidious onset, fluctuating level of consciousness, physical and intellectual slowing, sleepiness, headache, personality change, unsteadiness, localising symptoms occur late

Question 31. What is the
most likely diagnosis?
2. Where is the bleed most likely to have come from?
3. How would you expect the patient to present?
1. Blood in ventricular fissures2. 85% due to berry
aneurysms, often rupture following straining/exercise
3. Sudden, thunderclap headache (usually occipital), which lasts for hours/days, associated with vomiting, distress, photophobia, neck stiffness

Question 4
1. What type of imaging has been used here?
2. Diagnosis?3. Management?
1. MRI scan (with gadolinium enhancement to improve sensitivity)
2. Multiple sclerosis3. Anticholinergics (e.g.
oxybutynin), intermittent self-catheterisation, steroid injections, B-interferon, immuno-suppression, bacolfen

Question 5
1. Likely diagnosis?2. Most likely type?
1. Brain tumour2. Glioma is the most
common type of brain tumour in adults

Question 7
This man is found unconscious with a huge bump on his head. He is unresponsive, and a head CT is performed. Name 4 important findings on this patient.

Question 71. Epidural Haematoma along
the Parietal-Occipital region of the right side of the head.
2. A skull fracture associated with Parietal Bone.
3. A cortical contusion (Arrow) in the left Temporal region, known as a "Contra Coup" injury.

Question 8
• Nothing
![Page 19: Radiology Slideshow](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56815d94550346895dcbb0e8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

• This 84-year-old woman was brought into the Emergency Department 8 days prior to obtaining this scan.
• She has been bedridden since admission and was note to have no movement of her right extremities and to be aphasic.

Question 9

Question 9
![Page 22: Radiology Slideshow](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56815d94550346895dcbb0e8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Question 9• Extensive left hemisphere ischaemic infarction involving
territories of the anterior, middle, and posterior cerebral arteries. • The infarction is known to involve all the lobes of the left
hemisphere including frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes.
• The anterior cerebral artery is also involved in mainly the medial portion of the hemisphere, and there is slight sparing of the anterior cerebral artery in the medial frontal parietal region.
• Because the event occurred at least 8 days prior, we do not note any extensive mass effect or midline shift on this CT.
• An area of hypodensity in the right occipital lobe, which is an earlier infarction, may also be observed.
