CT findings with cerebral hemiatrophy

A Danziger, H I Price

    Neuroradiology
    |January 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    CT scans in cerebral hemiatrophy show ventricle enlargement and low-density cortex on the affected side in all patients. About half also exhibit skull thickening and midline shifts, indicating common imaging findings.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Cerebral hemiatrophy is a condition characterized by the underdevelopment or shrinkage of one hemisphere of the brain.
    • Accurate diagnosis and understanding of associated imaging findings are crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify and describe the characteristic computed tomography (CT) findings in patients diagnosed with cerebral hemiatrophy.
    • To correlate imaging features with the clinical presentation of cerebral hemiatrophy.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of CT examinations from 71 patients with diagnosed cerebral hemiatrophy.
    • Detailed evaluation of ventricular size, cortical density, calvarial thickness, and midline structures.

    Main Results:

    • All 71 patients demonstrated ventricle dilatation on the affected side.
    • Low density of the cortex on the involved side was observed in all cases.
    • Approximately 50% of patients presented with thickening of the calvarium and a shift of the midline.

    Conclusions:

    • CT imaging consistently reveals ventricle dilatation and low cortical density in cerebral hemiatrophy.
    • Calvarial thickening and midline shift are frequent, though not universal, associated findings.
    • These CT findings aid in the diagnosis and characterization of cerebral hemiatrophy.
