Case Notes
History
56 yo female with chronic hypertension and recent cerebellar symptomsExam
MR T1-w pre contrast
Prior Study
Pre and post contrast CT and CTA
1. The noncontrast CT demonstrates an apparent hemorrhage in an area of tissue volume loss in the caudal right cerebellar hemisphere. Age of the stroke and age of the apparent reperfusion hemorrhage are indeterminate. The apparent hemorrhage could also represent dystrophic nodular post ischemic tissue calcification.
2. There is ventriculomegaly and tissue atrophy out of proportion to age. Temporal horn size remains normal and there is no optic hydrops to confirm hydrocephalus.
3. The CTA confirmed non antegrade filling of distal arteries to the caudal right cerebellum and deep portions of the right cerebellum. Pial collateral was derived from the right superior cerebellar artery.
