17 year-old female status post trauma. Images through posterior fossa are unremarkable.Images through the supratentorial brain parenchyma demonstrates a subtle area of low attenuation in the periventricular white matter of the left parietal lobe. This is not associated with any additional areas of edema, hemorrhage, mass-effect, midline shift or hydrocephalus. This finding is not believed to be secondary to trauma. The exact nature of the finding is not clear and further evaluation with an MRI is highly recommended. This finding is best demonstrated on axial images 15 through 19. To exclude the possibility of a mass and MRI is recommended.Calvarium, soft tissues of the scalp, mastoid air cells and visualized portions of the paranasal sinuses are unremarkable.The above findings were relayed to Dr. Jeff Frank at the time of interpretation.
1.No definitive evidence of post traumatic findings.2.Focal area of low-attenuation in the periventricular white matter of the left parietal lobe which is non specific and nonhemorrhagic and does not appear to be a post traumatic finding. Further evaluation with an MRI is highly recommended.
