Video Summary
A 17-year-old sustained a helmet-to-helmet hit, raising concerns for a subdural hematoma. A non-contrast CT scan revealed a chrysanthemum-shaped hyperdensity along the right cerebral hemisphere, consistent with subdural hematoma, potentially involving a subarachnoid component. An MRI confirmed heterogeneous fluid collection indicative of subdural hematoma. A 69-year-old patient presented post-fall with a similar CT finding of a left cerebral convexity subdural hematoma, causing mass effect and midline shift. Brain contusion, often following a coup-countercoup pattern, appears as central hyperdensity with surrounding edema, frequently affecting areas like the anterior cranial fossa and temporal pole.
