Patient's question:
Hello. I am contacting you for a CT scan report. Continuous scanning from the base of the skull to the top layer at a thickness of 10mm and an interval of 10mm showed: slight widening and blurred edges at the posterior part of the falx cerebri. No obvious abnormal density shadows were observed within the brain parenchyma, and the gray-white matter interface was clear. The ventricles and cisterns were symmetrical on both sides, with normal morphology and size. Sulci and gyri were clear, and there was no obvious midline shift. No obvious signs of skull fracture were noted. Hello, does this refer to intracranial bleeding? Is the condition dangerous?Doctor's answer:
This statement cannot confirm intracranial hemorrhage. Subarachnoid hemorrhage is often accumulated in the parietal lobe, sulci, and fissures of the brain. Subarachnoid hemorrhage near the falx cerebri manifests as widening of the falx cerebri. However, due to the volume effect, there are often some false positives and false negatives, and the results are by no means highly reliable. This situation should be combined with clinical diagnostic symptoms. If there are symptoms such as headache and nuchal rigidity, subarachnoid hemorrhage can be diagnosed.
