[Demonstration of cerebral complications in internal diseases and in drug therapy by computerized tomography]

If the central nervous system is affected in internal diseases or during drug therapy accompanied by lesions within the cerebral tissue, there will be normally found changes in cranial computed tomography. 14% of our cranial scans have been done of patients from internal wards. Among these patients 10 cases have been elected to review the typical findings. In particular neurological complications are described in cardio-vascular and hematological diseases, in insufficiency of liver and kidney as well as in therapy with anticoagulants, fibrinolytics and cytostatics.
