Cranial Imaging Findings Quiz

Cranial Imaging Findings

• Acute Epidural Hematoma with Fractures: Images show a collection of blood located outside the dura mater, often associated with skull fractures.

• Subacute Subdural Hematomas: Bilateral subdural hematomas detected, characterized by a delayed blood collection within the subdural space.

• Chronic Subdural Hematomas: Cranial imaging demonstrating chronic subdural hematomas that are identified via special contrast enhanced CT scans.

• Acute Epidural Hematoma with Infarction: A subtype of epidural hematomas presenting with concomitant areas of brain tissue death.

• Subdural Hematoma (Acute): Images illustrate acute subdural hematomas, evident as collections of blood between the dura mater and arachnoid mater.

• Epidural/Subdural Hematoma and Hemorrhage: Image series identifying combined presence of subdural hematoma and epidural hematoma. Often associated with a high level of intracranial pressure.

• Subdural/Neumocranium TC: This type of finding reveals the presence of both a subdural hematoma and air within the skull's soft tissues.

• Diffuse Axonal Injury: Images exhibiting the characteristic signs of diffuse axonal injury, a severe form of brain damage typically caused by trauma.

Brain Abscesses

• Abscess in CT scan: CT scans showing brain abscesses, a collection of pus in the brain tissue.

• Abscess in CT, Enhanced Protocol: Shows brain abscesses with contrast enhancement, identifying the inflammation zone around the collection.

• Abscess in MRI: MRI depicting the presence of abscesses in the brain parenchyma.

Ventricular System, Vessels, and other Conditions

• Ventriculitis: Signifies inflammation within the brain ventricles, typically indicated by abnormal scans.

• Hydrocephalus: Presence of hydrocephalus, where fluid accumulates excessively within the cerebral ventricles. Images show dilated ventricles.

• Subacute/Subdural Frontoparietal Left Hematoma: Locationally specific subdural hemorrhage focused on the frontal and parietal lobes of the left hemisphere.

• Bilateral Hematoma (Subdural): Multiple blood clots present on both sides of the brain's cranium.

• Neuro-encephal, Bifrontal: Presence of air (pneumonia) affecting both the frontal lobes.

• Inferior Cerebral Artery, Hemorrhage, Hemispheric Damage: Hemorrhage compromising the function of the particular cerebral artery, leading to specific regions of brain damage observable on the images.

• Acute Subdural Hemorrhage: A subdural hematoma that has formed fairly recently, indicated by the imaging.

• Intraventricular Hemorrhage: Blood inside the cerebral ventricles, frequently observed in scans.

• Intraparenchymal Hemorrhage: This term refers to bleeding within the brain tissue itself.

• Subarachnoid Hemorrhage, Images revealing bleeding in the space between the arachnoid and pia mater layers of the meninges.

• Edema, Interstitial: Images showing tissue swelling.

• Vascular Edema or vascular lesion: Images depicting tissue swelling potentially caused by vascular dysfunction. Specific vessels might be highlighted.

• Vasogenic Edema: Images showing a type of swelling caused by increased permeability in the blood vessel walls. This can be seen in various pathological conditions.

• Hyperacute Infarction: Images depict a very recent stroke, characterized by a specific pattern of changes.

• Chronic Infarction: Images illustrating a stroke that occurred some time ago.

• Intracerebral Hemorrhage/Spontaneous: Images indicate bleeding within the brain, occurring without obvious trauma.

• Intracranial Tumor: Images revealing the presence of an intracranial tumor. The nature and location of the tumor could be determined from the imaging.

• Basal Hemorrhage: Brain bleeding primarily found in the lower portion of the brain.

• Thalamic Hemorrhage: Images show bleeding within the thalamus of the brain.

• Cavenoma or cavernous malformation: The presence of a collection of abnormally formed blood vessels within the brain. The characteristic appearance is often found in imaging.

• AV Malformation: An abnormal tangle of blood vessels.

• H. Subarachnoid, Aneurysm, or Aneurisms: Signs of subarachnoid hemorrhage related to an aneurysm or a group of aneurysms is detected in imaging analysis.

• Angiomas - Venous: Imaging displaying abnormal blood vessels (mostly veins) in relation to their normal structure.

• Capillary Telangiectasia: Indicates abnormal dilation of small blood vessels, shown through imaging.
