This case report details a suicide attempt by hanging. It highlights the first documented instance of multifocal intracerebral hematomas in the brain parenchyma on CT scans following such an event.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Radiology
  • Forensic Medicine

Background:

  • Cerebral involvement following suicidal hanging is rare.
  • Previous reports on CT imaging primarily showed ischemic lesions.

Observation:

  • A 23-year-old male presented after a suicide attempt by hanging.
  • Computed Tomography (CT) imaging revealed multifocal intracerebral hematomas.

Findings:

  • This is the first reported case of multifocal intracerebral hematomas associated with suicidal hanging.
  • The findings differ from previously observed ischemic patterns.

Implications:

  • Highlights the potential for diverse brain injuries in hanging incidents.
  • Suggests CT imaging should carefully evaluate for hemorrhagic lesions in similar cases.
