Overview

CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of subdural hematoma. Findings on CT scan diagnostic of subdural hematoma includes crescent shape hyperintense hematoma , which starts to become isointense in comparison to brain gray matter as it ages. It may cross falx cerebri and cause midline shift.

CT scan

CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of subdural hematoma. Findings on CT scan diagnostic of subdural hematoma includes:^[1]

Hyperintense in comparison to gray matter
Crescent shape
As the hematoma ages, it starts to become isointense in comparison to brain gray matter
It may cross falx cerebri
It may cause midline shift
