Ring blush associated with intracerebral hematoma

R D Zimmerman, N E Leeds, T P Naidich

    Summary

    Ring blush on CT scans can indicate intracerebral hematoma. This finding, often seen in aging hematomas, typically disappears within six months, aiding diagnosis without surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Intracerebral hematomas can present with various imaging findings.
    • Ring blush is an observed phenomenon in some aging hematomas.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the occurrence and CT characteristics of ring blush in intracerebral hematomas.
    • To evaluate the diagnostic utility of ring blush in differentiating hematomas.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series presentation of seven patients with intracerebral hematomas.
    • Utilized serial computed tomography (CT) scans with contrast enhancement.
    • Observed the evolution and resolution of ring blush over time.

    Main Results:

    • Ring blush was identified in spontaneous and post-traumatic intracerebral hematomas (subacute and chronic).
    • The ring blush typically resolved within two to six months on serial CT scans.
    • While not specific, peripheral location and lack of mass effect suggest hematoma.

    Conclusions:

    • Serial CT changes, including ring blush disappearance, aid in diagnosing intracerebral hematomas.
    • Ring blush, in conjunction with clinical findings, can help avoid unnecessary surgical intervention.
