Brainstem Compression in a Child with Acute Progressive Brain Edema Following Trauma

Brainstem Compression in a Child with Acute Progressive Brain Edema Following Trauma Computed tomography findings in a case of acute, traumatic, progressive, and irreversible edema of the brain are described. Subsequent development of obstructive hydrocephalus, following previous ventricular collapse, without resolution of the edema is suggested as a sign of brainstem compression, obliteration of the aqueduct, and deterioration leading to eventual brain death. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography Wolters Kluwer Health

Abstract

Computed tomography findings in a case of acute, traumatic, progressive, and irreversible edema of the brain are described. Subsequent development of obstructive hydrocephalus, following previous ventricular collapse, without resolution of the edema is suggested as a sign of brainstem compression, obliteration of the aqueduct, and deterioration leading to eventual brain death.
