Intraparenchymal Blood-Fluid Levels in Traumatic Intracerebral Haematomas Neuroradiology 34:381-383, Katayama,Y.,et al, 1992 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Blood-fluid levels within the cerebral parenchyma are observed more frequently on CT and MRI in traumatic intracerebral haematomas than in those of other aetiologies.The intraparenchyman blood-fluid interface can be formed without a fluid cavity.It is suggested that the blood-fluid levels represent layering of red blood cells within areas of contusion necrosis as well as extensive contusion oedema.The more extensive the damage to brain tissue,the more often blood-fluid levels formed.A poorer outcome can be therefore predicted when an intraparenchymal blood-fluid interface is seen.
