Enhancing cerebral infarction simulating arteriovenous malformation on computed tomography.

G C Henrikson, D V Patel

    Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography
    |May 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Misinterpreting cerebral infarction as arteriovenous malformation (AVM) can occur on CT scans. Proper imaging techniques are crucial for accurate diagnosis and avoiding unnecessary procedures like angiography.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroradiology
    • Neuroimaging
    • Cerebrovascular diseases

    Background:

    • Computed tomography (CT) is essential for diagnosing cerebrovascular events.
    • Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) present with characteristic vascular enhancement patterns on CT.
    • Cerebral infarctions typically show gyral enhancement patterns after contrast administration.

    Observation:

    • Three cases are presented where cerebral infarction enhancement mimicked AVM vascularity.
    • The enhancing patterns on contrast-enhanced CT were atypical for infarction.
    • Misinterpretation led to considering AVM as a potential diagnosis.

    Findings:

    • The enhancing regions in these infarction cases did not follow the typical gyral pattern.
    • Clinical presentation, scan timing, plain CT appearance, and enhancement characteristics were analyzed.

  • Specific CT techniques and window settings are vital for correct interpretation.

    • Implications:

    • Accurate differentiation between cerebral infarction and AVM on CT is critical.
    • Avoiding misdiagnosis can prevent unnecessary cerebral angiography.
    • Adherence to appropriate imaging protocols enhances diagnostic accuracy in neuroimaging.
