Cerebral infarction involving the middle cerebral artery territory: Acute middle cerebral artery territory infarct

This set of non-contrast CTs is from a patient with an acute right middle cerebral artery infarct arrow_1 (Figures 1 and 2). There is reduced grey-white differentiation and sulcal effacement at the cerebral cortex supplied by the right middle cerebral artery. In addition, the right insular cortex as well as the lateral border of the right lentiform nucleus is less well demarcated compared to the left side.

These are the cranial CT scans from a patient with a recent left cerebellar infarct . Due to the significant cytotoxic oedema as a result of the cerebellar infarct, the fourth ventricle is being compressed , thus obstructing the normal CSF flow. The CT scan shows features of obstructive hydrocephalus and there is dilatation of the third ventricle  (now…

Creutzfeld-Jakob Disease (CJD) are prion diseases and can be subdivided into sporadic (account for 85% of cases), genetic (15% of cases) and acquired forms (<1% cases). CJD is rare with an incidence of 1-1.5 per million population per year with a peak age of onset of 55-75years. It is a common cause of rapidly progressive dementia. However, other symptoms including myoclonus, visual or…

a) Various Densities in Axial Brain CT  The normal anatomy of brain is relatively easier to understand with CT than MRI, comparing to radiograph, it can better delineate different soft tissue density – Structures appearing “white” in an unenhanced CT brain can only be the following high density structures : 1. Bone e.g. cranium ( calcium-containing ) 2. Blood in acute bleeding ( later…

Stroke due to cardio-embolism Stroke due to cardio-embolic causes account for up to 25% of all ischaemic strokes. Emboli originating from the heart travel along the circulation supplying the brain and occlude one or more vessels resulting in a stroke. Common causes of emboli formation from the heart include 1) arrhythmias e.g. atrial fibrillation, 2) left…
