Traumatic lesions of corpus callosum: early multidetector CT findings / D. Gadda, L. Carmignani, L. Vannucchi, A. Bindi. - In: NEURORADIOLOGY. - ISSN 0028-3940. - 46:10(2004 Oct), pp. 812-816.
Abstract:
Corpus callosum is one of the common sites of brain lesion, whose involvement is an indicator of a more severe prognosis, produced by traumatic shearing stresses resulting in diffuse axonal injury (DAI). Computed tomography (CT) in acute phase is considered to have a limited role for the detection of non-hemorrhagic or petechial hemorrhagic DAI lesions. New generation multidetector CT scanners allow faster acquis ition of thinner-slice images and post-processing reformations. Three patients with severe closed head trauma underwent CT examinations using a multidetector scanner, a few hours and the day after injury. The review of original images with narrow window width and integration with reconstruction of thinner slices from raw-data and post-processing multiplanar reformations (MPR) helped to detect the onset of hypodense or predominantly hypodense areas of corpus callosum, not present at admission and afterwards confirmed by MRI.
