Abstract:
The authors report the case of a patient suffering from a head trauma after dizziness followed by a loss of consciousness. In the hours following the admission, he developed drowsiness and a left hemiparesis. CT scanner showed an intracerebral haematoma. Due to the dizziness a carotid angiography has been realized and has demonstrated an intracerebral avascular mass, an arteriovenous shunt and an epidural haematoma at the vertex. Two aspects of the case seem to be important: the first one is the limit of CT scanner; the second one is the relationship between the three lesions.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
