Isodense acute subdural hematoma.

An unusual isodense acute subdural hematoma is reported. Its causes may have included dilution with cerebrospinal fluid and a local or disseminated coagulopathy. Detection of such lesions requires a high incidence of suspicion based on subtle abnormalities found on computed tomography and the use of enhancement, particularly with the aid of advanced scanners. When a significant shift of the midline is seen, other alternatives would be angiography or placement of an exploratory burr hole on the "swollen" side.

Delayed intracerebral hematoma due to traumatic aneurysm caused by a shotgun wound: a problem in prophylaxis.

A delayed traumatic intracerebral hematoma was seen in a patient after a shotgun wound to the brain. The cause of the hemorrhage seemed to be a traumatic aneurysm. Both complications are reviewed, and it is suggested that clinical and intracranial pressure monitoring should lead to early diagnosis and may minimize the effects of this problem and that angiography may be appropriate early in the course of patients who have had fragments pass near intracranial vessels.

Osgood-Schlatter's disease, an emphasis on soft tissue changes in roentgen diagnosis.

Osgood-Schlatter's disease is a well known entity affecting the adolescent knee. Radiologic examination of the knee has been an integral part of the diagnosis of this condition for decades. However, the soft tissue changes have not been appreciated sufficiently. Emphasis is placed on the use of optimum radiographic technique and xeroradiography in the examination of the soft tissues of the knee.

Neuroradiologic diagnosis of subdural empyema and CT limitations.

Five cases of subdural empyema are described. Two of the cases eluded a definitive computed tomography (CT) diagnosis despite classical clinical background. Extracerebral collection with definitive border enhancement was seen in the other three cases. Mass effect, present in all five cases, was related to the extracerebral collection in three cases and diffuse cerebral edema and/or infarction in two. Angiography in four cases initially demonstrated an extracerebral collection in three and inflammatory angiospasm in two. Repeat angiography demonstrated an extracerebral collection in the fourth case. In the proper clinical setting subdural empyema should be considered even in the absence of an extracerebral collection when mass effect or an infarction pattern is seen on CT. Angiography may be diagnostic in such cases. Hopefully, newer techniques will further the diagnostic efficacy of CT in this disease.
