title: Displacement of anterior cerebral vessels in cerebral dynamic study in cases of chronic subdural hematomas.
abstract: About 75-80% chronic subdural hematomas give positive results in a brain scan. The typical scintigraphic finding of chronic subdural hematoma is a diffuse widening and increase of the peripheral activity on the anterior view. In the flow studies subdural hematomas lead occasionally to peripheral activity defects. In two cases of chronic subdural hematoma without typical patterns in a perfusion study as well as in static images, we found a displacement of the anterior cerebral vessels as an indircet sign of space occupation.
