Case series of infants with CSF-like subdural collections on T2*-GRE/SWI
Case | Age (mo) | Sex | MRI Diagnosis | Operative Description | Pathology (If Available) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 4 | M | cSDH (↑ T1/T2/FLAIR/SWAN, hemosiderin along neomembranes) | “Subdural hematoma” | Culture, no growth; no cell count |
2 | 5 | M | cSDH (↑ T1/FLAIR/SWAN/GRE, iso T2, hemosiderin along neomembranes) | “Reddish-brown CSF” | Culture, no growth; no cell count |
3 | 6 | M | SDHy (iso to CSF, no neomembranes) | “Chronic subdural hematoma” | Not sent |
4 | 4 | M | cSDH (↑ T1/FLAIR, ↓ GRE/T2, 1 neomembrane with no hemosiderin) | “Blood-tinged hematoma fluid” | Culture, no growth; WBC 945/μL (H); RBC 149,188/μL (H) |
5 | 4 | M | cSDH (↑ T1/FLAIR/GRE, iso T2, hemosiderin along neomembranes) | “Blood-tinged CSF” | Culture, no growth; no cell count |
Note:—↑ indicates increased signal; ↓, decreased signal; iso, isointense; WBC, white blood cell count; RBC, red blood cell count; H, high.
