61-year-old woman with aphasia. Please evaluate progression of hematoma. The left temporoparietal junction parenchymal hemorrhage now measures 3.7 x 3.3 cm in the axial plane (series 2 image 13). Accounting for differences in patient positioning, this appears increased in size compared to previous scan on which it measured 3.4 x 3.0 cm. A rim of edema surrounds the hemorrhage. There is no appreciable midline shift. No new areas of hemorrhage are seen.There is mild mass effect upon the left lateral ventricle but no appreciable midline shift. The basal cisterns are normal in size and configuration.The calvaria and skull base are radiographically normal. The visualized paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are normally pneumatized. Extensive soft tissue abnormality is present in the occipital region. This may represent sequela of prior soft tissue hemorrhage as seen on the MRI dated 1/17/2007.
Interval enlargement of left parietal parenchymal hemorrhage as detailed above.
