CT Head Without Contrast - 10/4/24

 

EXAMINATION: CT HEAD WO CONTRAST, obtained on 10/3/2024 3:20 PM

 

HISTORY: Left arm weakness worsened in the setting of acute MCA stroke r/o

hemorrhage or worsening.

 

COMPARISON: Head CT, 10/2/2024

 

TECHNIQUE: Axial CT of the head. Coronal and sagittal image reconstructions were

performed. An iterative reconstruction technique was used to reduce radiation

dose.

 

CONTRAST:  None.

 

FINDINGS:

 

No acute intracranial hemorrhage. Partly confluent small areas of hypodensity

within the right MCA vascular territory corresponding to acute/subacute ischemic

infarct seen on today's brain MRI. No hydrocephalus and no midline shift. No

acute loss of gray-white matter differentiation otherwise. Orbits appear normal.

Trace mucosal thickening involving the paranasal sinuses. The bony calvarium is

intact. The bilateral mastoid air cells are clear.

 

IMPRESSION:

​

1.  No acute intracranial hemorrhage.

2.  Expected interval evolution of ischemic injury within the right MCA vascular

territory.
