✦ Synopsis

CT findings in 51 patients with subdural hematomas are studied. Direct signs (hyperdensity, hypodensity) and indirect signs (any form of mass lesion) are distinguished. CT is limited with regard to determining correlations between time and the attenuation values. The factors which influence density of the hematoma are discussed. For a rational approach with subdural hematomas, which present diagnostic problems and reveal the limitations of CT diagnosis, a diagnostic scheme is proposed.
