Computed Tomography (CT) is the most commonly used imaging modality in the evaluation of cerebral hemorrhage in the head trauma patients. Objective: To study the incidence of a cerebral hemorrhage in traumatic patients using computed tomography. Method: This retrospective study was conducted at King Khalid hospital in Tabuk city, Saudi Arabia, in the radiology department, in the period from September 2018 to April 2020. The study was done by collecting 471 CT reports of patients all of them were exposed to head trauma with deferent reasons. The data were analyzed by Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) program (ver. 20) and presented in tables and graphs according to the checklist which includes: patient age, gender, type of trauma, CT finding, and type of hemorrhage. Results: The most age group suffered from head trauma was less than 20 years percentage (55%), The male patients more exposed to head trauma than female patients with percentage (84.5%), the road traffic accident (RTA) is the most common type of trauma by percentage (63.5%), according to the CT finding; the cerebral hemorrhage represented (15.5%) with the highest percentage in a subdural hematoma (31.2%), the fracture represented (2.8%) while the normal appearance represented (81.7%) as the highest percentage. Conclusion: Most of the traumatic brain injury in patients caused cerebral hemorrhage and the CT scan reports show that: the common type of cerebral hemorrhage is subdural hematoma and it is common in males which exposed to (RTA) in the age group (21 - 40) years old.

Accurate assessment of imaging studies in patients with ventriculoperitoneal shunts can be aided by empirical findings. The authors characterize an objective measurement easily performed on head CT scans with the goal of producing clear evidence of shunt fracture or disconnection in patients with a snap shunt–type system. The authors describe 2 cases of ventriculoperitoneal shunt failure involving a fracture and a disconnection associated with a snap-shunt assembly. In both cases the initial clinical symptoms were not convincing for shunt malfunction, and the interpretation of the CT finding failed to immediately identify the abnormality. As the clinical picture became more convincing for shunt malfunction, each patient subsequently underwent successful shunt revision. The authors reviewed the CT scans of 10 patients with an intact and functioning snap-shunt system to characterize the normal appearance of the snap-shunt connection. On CT scans the distance between the radiopaque portion of the ventricular catheter and the radiopaque portion of the reservoir dome measures an average of 4.72 mm (range 4.6–4.9 mm, 95% CI 4.63–4.81 mm). In the authors' patient with a fractured ventricular catheter, this interval measured 7.8 mm, and in the patient with a disconnection it measured 7.7 mm. In comparison with the range of normal values, a radiolucent interval significantly greater than 4.9 mm should promptly raise concern for a disconnected or fractured shunt in this system. This measurement may prove particularly useful when serial imaging is not readily available.

Background: Eclampsia is a leading cause of maternal death, with classical neurological symptoms that include headache, nausea, vomiting, cortical blindness, coma and convulsions. Computed tomography (CT) scan helps in diagnosing and management of eclampsia in pregnant women. The present study was done with the objective to analyse the findings of CT scan of brain in eclampsia, to identify the prevalence of neurovascular complications in these cases and to determine if these findings can be of value in determining the prognosis of this disorder.Methods: This was a prospective study done on 100 patients with eclampsia. All of the 100 patients were screened with CT scan brain at Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Egmore, Chennai during the period from August 2008 to August 2009. All the data were analyzed and compared between the groups of positive CT scan and negative CT scan observations.Results: Out of 100 patients, positive CT scan findings were noticed in 15 patients. Of them, 7 patients expired, and 8 patients survived after treatment. Of the expired patients (7), 5 of them expired due to brain haemorrhage, and 1 patient died with cerebral oedema and 1 with brain infarction. Cerebral odema (46%) was the most common positive CT finding.  Parietal region of brain was the most common (40%) affected area.Conclusions: CT scan of brain provides valuable information in determining the prognosis and the prevalence of neurovascular complications in Eclampsia.

Infections of the nervous system and its belonging structures have often been reported as life-threatening conditions. Purpose: the results of dynamic follow-up and proving of changes in secondary meningoencephalitis from suppurative left maxillary sinusitis are presented using the imaging methods - CT and MRI. Methods: diagnostic imaging (CT, MRI), of acute disease in a 13-year-old child with progressive development and proving of secondary bacterial meningoencephalitis. Result: the control CT after two days showed dynamics in the imaging CT finding with the appearance of changes in the type of brain oedema and development of pansinusitis. The MRI data described corresponded to changes as at meningoencephalitis in progress.Conclusion: The extension of the diagnostic algorithm with MRI, with the administration of intravenous contrast medium, clearly demonstrated changes characteristic of meningoencephalitis.

COVID-19 ARDS has a high mortality and few therapeutic options. We present a preliminary report on our experience using high-dose pulsed methylprednisolone in COVID-19 ARDS and three-month outcomes. We performed a retrospective analysis of all patients treated with high-dose methylprednisolone for COVID-19 ARDS and three-month lung function, 6MWT, and CT findings. 15 patients were treated of which 10 survived to discharge. Reduced DLCO was the commonest abnormality in lung function tests and had the lowest mean value. Parenchymal bands were the commonest CT finding and 50% of patients had fibrosis at three-months. Mean 6MWD was 65.4% predicted and was abnormal in 62.5% of patients. In this cohort of patients with COVID-19 ARDS treated with high-dose methylprednisolone pulses, CT, lung function, and 6MWT abnormalities were unsurprisingly common at three months, although all 10 patients treated early in their disease course survived, a possible therapeutic effect. Further randomised controlled trials are needed to assess the benefits of this treatment.
