Posttraumatic vasospasms occur in 6% of patients, significantly less than bleeding from vascular malformations. Computed tomography may be insufficient, necessitating angiography for accurate diagnosis and timely treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Posttraumatic vasospasm is a potential complication following head injury.
  • Its incidence is reported between 5-10% in literature, with our study observing it in 6% of patients.

Observation:

  • Computed tomography (CT) findings of posttraumatic vasospasm may not correlate with the clinical presentation.
  • The frequency of demonstrating posttraumatic vasospasm via CT is decreasing, suggesting limitations in CT's diagnostic capability for this condition.

Findings:

  • Posttraumatic vasospasm was observed in 6% of patients in this study.
  • This incidence is notably lower than that associated with bleeding from vascular malformations.

Implications:

  • CT scans may be insufficient for diagnosing posttraumatic vasospasm, especially in cases with unclear etiology or discordant clinical and imaging findings.

  • Cerebral angiography or other methods to determine cerebral blood flow are recommended for accurate diagnosis.
  • Early and targeted treatment is crucial for managing posttraumatic vasospasm effectively.
