AbstractThree cases of brainstem contusion in whom the lesion could not be found by x-ray computed tomography (CT) but was identified clearly by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were reported. CT is apparently very useful in detecting the hemorrhagic components in patients with acute head injury, and it will definitely retain its important role in the management of emergency patients with possible life-threatening intracranial hemorrhage. MRI has been also known to be very useful in the diagnosis of patients with head injuries, especially in the detection of contusion in the frontal base, tip and the base of the temporal lobe, and the brainstem. T2-weighted images are the best for demonstrating such traumatic contusion of the brain.
