Subcortical Hemorrhage:Marker for Radiographic Occult Cerebral Vein Thrombosis on CT J Comput Assist Tomogr 19:527-531, Keiper,M.D.,et al, 1995 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Subcortical hemorrhage was noted in 9 of 24(38%)subjects with CVT by MRI. The CT antedated MRI in eight of these subjects as the initial evaluation for presenting neurological symptoms.Subcortical hemorrhage was noted in six of eight of these subjects as the sole CT finding.Subcortical hemorrhage as well as CVT was seen in one subject,and no abnormality was seen in the final subject.Cerebral vein thrombosis was not suggested as a diagnosis in any of the six subjects with SCH as the sole radiographic finding.In all six of these cases,a delay in diagnosis occurred pending MRI obtained subsequently secondary to clinical deterioration.Subcortical hemorrhage can be seen in association with acute CVT and can be the sole abnormality on head CT.SCH as an isolated finding on CT suggests the possibility of unrecognized CVT,warranting further investigation by MRI.
