Patient Data
This case has been tagged as "legacy" as it no longer meets image preparation and/or other case publication guidelines.
Diffuse sulcal effacement of the brain with diffuse increased white matter hypodensity, suggestive of post-traumatic brain edema.
Bilateral frontal small intra-axial densities, suggestive of cerebral contusions.
Left temporal small extra-axial hematoma.
Bilateral retained fluid at middle ears with obvious longitudinal fracture of left petrous bone, suggestive of hemotympanum.
Case Discussion
This case shows multiple post-traumatic brain changes, including post-traumatic global cerebral edema, bilateral frontal contusions, extradural hematoma and petrous bone fracture with hemotympanum.
