We retrospectively assessed the incidence and time course of enlargement in posttraumatic intracerebral haematoma (PTICH). Computed tomography (CT) scans from 165 patients who underwent a scan within 72 h and a repeat scan within 120 h of the onset of trauma were examined. A semi-automated method using region deformation-based segmentation was used to calculate the haematoma volume. The presence of haematoma enlargement was also determined based on a consensus by five observers. Seventy cases (42%) showed enlargement of the haematoma. The frequency of haematoma enlargement decreased as the interval between the onset of trauma and the initial scan increased. The discriminant value of the ratio of the haematoma volume in the second scan to that in the initial scan was ascertained, and the cut-off value for haematoma enlargement was determined to be 1.45. The radiographic criterion for enlargement in PTICH on CT scan was, therefore, defined as a ≥ 1.45 times increase in haematoma volume.

Orbital Imaging

X-ray interpretation is a fundamental skill in emergency practice. Post-operative eyes with implants may sometimes pose clinical challenges on post-traumatic event diagnosis and differentiation from organ wasting. Recommended by authorities and guidelines, computed tomography is indicated for evaluation of head injury cases, yet incidental abnormal findings such as radiopacity in the eyeball might create dilemma to diagnosis. History taking and clinical examinations are essential for the interpretation of the radiopacity in orbital imaging. Subtle and uncommon radiological findings of the eye will be discussed.

AbstractComputed tomography (CT) is considered the gold standard technique for the assessment of trauma patients with suspected involvement of the eye and orbit. These traumas can result in dramatic consequences to visual function, ocular motility, and aesthetics. CT is a quick and widely available imaging modality, which provides a detailed evaluation of the orbital bony and soft tissue structures, an accurate assessment of the globes, and is used to guide the patients’ treatment planning. For a timely and accurate diagnosis, radiologists should be aware of fracture patterns and possible associated complications, ocular detachments and hemorrhages, and different appearances of intraorbital foreign bodies. This educational review aims to describe all post-traumatic orbital abnormalities that can be identified on CT, providing a list of tips and a diagnostic flowchart to help radiologists deal with this complex condition.

Introduction: posttraumatic cystic swelling in the parotid region has a complex diagnosis and requires careful management. Posttraumatic siaolcele has two main line of management: one that preserves the gland function and other that depresses the gland function. Methods: a case report of a posttraumatic sialocele managed by conservative measure including sterile aspiration and bandage. Ultrasonography, Computed Tomography and sialography were the main investigations that aided the diagnosis. The case was followed up for 6 months Results: aspiration of the fluid contents revealed complete evactuation of the cyst. Complete resolution was achieved by 3 weeks after aspiration. Conclusion: posttraumatic parotid sialocele is uncommon cause of parotid swelling. Careful mangemnt is mandatory and gland function preservation is the optimum line of management.

Splenic abscess is a very rare entity with an incidence of about 0.14-0.7% in autopsy studies. Splenic abscess has been reported to have a mortality rate of about47%, it has various causes but usually associated with trauma and infections of the spleen. We report two cases of splenic abscess; a child with post traumatic cause and a middle aged lady with an unknown cause. Both cases were diagnosed of having the abscess following imaging; the first case had abdominopelvic ultrasound that showed an abscess cavity with a volume of about 11mls and subsequently resolved following medical treatment with intravenous antimicrobial agents. The second case however had an abdominopelvic computed tomography scan that showed a huge splenic abscess with a volume of about 1400mls; she had a successful splenectomy. We report the radiologic findings of these cases due to the rare nature of splenic abscess as reported in the literature.
