Abstract

Changes in the size and density of intracerebral hematomas were investigated by analyzing the sequential CT studies of 40 patients. Intracerebral hematomas decrease in density by an average of 0.7 EMI units per day. The dense portion of the hematoma decreases in size by an average of 0.65 mm per day. Mass effect does not decrease in proportion to the decrease in size of the dense portion of the hematoma but is delayed. The only instances of increasing mass effect occurred in patients undergoing surgical evacuation of the hematoma and in those who sustained trauma. Posthematoma residua include decreased parenchymal density, focal atrophy, and ventricular enlargement.

Abstract

Review of the computed tomographic findings in 286 patients with acute craniocerebral trauma revealed several types of lesions: hemorrhagic contusion, intracerebral and extracerebral hematomas, general and focal cerebral swelling, and shearing injury of the cerebral white matter. Hemorrhagic contusions are the most frequent lesion and may result in focal neurologic deficits. General cerebral swelling occurs frequently in children and necessitates prompt medical management for complete recovery. Mortality rates for intracerebral, subdural, and epidural hematomas were lower for this series than for series that preceded computed tomography. Because of the availability of computed tomography, there was an 84% reduction in arteriography, 58% reduction in surgical intervention, and a 24% reduction in skull radiography.

Abstract

Transmission CT studies of 40 patients with intracerebral hematomas were used for an analysis of the perihematoma region. Nineteen of these patients had radionuclide studies. In the brain adjacent to an intracerebral hematoma, the patterns of pertechnetate uptake on scintillation scans and contrast enhancement on transmission CT resemble those observed in cerebral infarctions. The healing of the perihematoma region proceeds similarly to that of infarcts. The brain about the hematoma is ischemic tissue which behaves much like cerebral infarction not related to hematomas.
