Description

Objective: To analyze the imaging characteristics of longitudinal fissure subdural hematoma(LFSH). Methods: CT and MRI images of 11 patients with LFSH were retrospectively analyzed. Results: On CT scan, LFSH was shown as a girdle-shaped high density parafalcic area, which located in anterior longitudinal fissure in 5 cases, posterior longitudinal fissure in 4 cases, full longitudinal fissure in 2 cases. MRI of 2 cases showed hypointensity on T1-weighted images and isointensity on T2-weighted images. Conclusion: CT and MRI images are the most helpful for the correct diagnosis of LFSH. (authors)
