The Influence of Hemocoagulation Disorders on the Development of Posttraumatic Cerebral Infarction and Outcome in Patients with Moderate or Severe Head Trauma
Figure 1
Axial CT images of a 35-year-old man with a GCS score of 8 at admission after a motor vehicle collision. Axial CT initially reveals right temporal lobe hematoma. The following CT performed 24 hours and 48 hours after trauma shows well-marginated low density in the left posterior cerebral artery (arrowhead), suggesting infarction (b)-(c). Repeat CT scan 2 weeks after trauma shows brain edema around the damaged areas (d).
