Traumatic brain injuryTraumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common cause of neurological damage and disability. Conventional imaging (CT scan or MRI) is highly sensitive in detecting lesions and provides important clinical information regarding the need for acute intervention. However, abnormalities detected...
Between one and a half million people seek medical care for traumatic brain injury every year. Many traumatic brain injuries are invisible. That is there is no CT scan or MRI of the brain that is read as abnormal. Additionally these brain injuries are often termed mild. So the mere descript...
Shaken baby syndrome is not usually a one-time event. Abuse of an infant or young child that causes this type of injury is often part of a pattern of abuse. Previous head injuries may be seen on special testing, such as aCT(computed tomography) scan orMRI(magnetic resonance image) of th...
multiple sclerosis (MS) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) had been made by the combination of evaluating a patient’s clinical presentation of symptoms and detecting positive findings on imaging studies such as MRI and
focal brain injury confined to specific area of brain; causes localized damage that can be detected with CT scan or MRI diffuse brain injury damage throughout many areas of brain; begin at microscopic level; MRI has greater ability to detect microscopic damage but areas may not be imaged until...

Only children that were examined in the ED and underwent a brain CT scan and/or were hospitalized for at least one day of observation due to their injury were included. The decision to perform a CT or to hospitalize after a head injury is based on clinical judgment and may represent the ...
• CSF acts as a cushion for the brain, protecting it from injury and removing waste. 2. Intravascular blood - 12% • Blood vessels in the brain carry oxygen and nutrients to brain tissue. Blood volume can affect ICP. 3. Brain tissue - 78% • The actual brain mass itself, which...
