|July 1, 1978
Summary
Contrast-enhanced margins on computed tomography (CT) scans reveal chronic epidural hematomas. This study presents three cases and explores potential mechanisms for these imaging findings in epidural hematoma.
Area of Science:
- Radiology
- Neurology
- Neurosurgery
Background:
- Chronic epidural hematomas (CEHs) are collections of blood between the dura mater and the skull.
- CEHs can present with varied imaging characteristics on computed tomography (CT).
- Contrast enhancement in CEHs is an uncommon but significant finding.
