Ungewöhnliche zerebrale Läsion in der Computertomografie

Abstract

We report the case of a 84-year-old man who suffered a hematoma of the septum pellucidum due to a fall. The development of the septum pellucidum and its implications on pathomechanisms in head injury are discussed. In the setting of trauma, a reliable differentiation to other septal lesions can be impossible in computed tomography alone, unless earlier examinations are availabe for comparison. Additional magnetic resonance imaging may be warranted in case of vicinity of the lesion to the interventricular foramina.
