  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A newly advanced MRI pulse sequence, the FLAIR (fluid-attenuated inversion recovery) imaging, in which a long TE spin echo sequence is used with suppression of the CSF with an inversion pulse, displays the CSF space as a no signal intensity area. We examined 45 cases of mild head trauma with posttraumatic amnesia by FLAIR images and could detect some findings which could not be detected by CT scan and conventional MR images. These findings could be detected in many patients with long post-traumatic amnesia (over 2 hours), but they could not be detected in patients with short posttraumatic amnesia (within 30 mins). These findings existed surrounding lateral ventricles and we classified them into 3 types :type 1 is anterior horn of lateral ventricle, type 2 is the base of frontal lobe, type 3 is cerebral deep white matter. Some of them were examined again by FLAIR images a month later, and these findings had dis-appeared, We suspect that these lesions were brain edema or mild contusion without hemorrhage.
