Comparative StudyQuantitative analysis of intracranial hypostasis: comparison of early postmortem and antemortem CT findings.
The purpose of this study was to quantitatively analyze postmortem hypostasis in the intracranial venous sinus on head CT scans compared with the antemortem CT findings in the same patients with the aim of evaluating sedimentation in the heart and great vessels. ⋯ Intracranial hypostasis is a common postmortem CT finding. Radiologists and physicians who interpret postmortem neurologic images should be aware of intracranial hypostasis and differentiate this phenomenon from intracranial hemorrhage.
