Overview
CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of subdural hematoma. Findings on CT scan diagnostic of subdural hematoma includes crescent shape hyperintense hematoma , which starts to become isointense in comparison to brain gray matter as it ages. It may cross falx cerebri and cause midline shift.
CT scan
CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of subdural hematoma. Findings on CT scan diagnostic of subdural hematoma includes:[1]
- Hyperintense in comparison to gray matter
- Crescent shape
- As the hematoma ages, it starts to become isointense in comparison to brain gray matter
- It may cross falx cerebri
- It may cause midline shift
