Symmetrical thalamic low densities in descending transtentorial herniation

Surg Neurol. 1986 Jan;25(1):29-32. doi: 10.1016/0090-3019(86)90110-2.

Abstract

In a case with descending transtentorial herniation due to an acute subdural hematoma, symmetrical round low densities located bilaterally in the anterior thalamus are reported in addition to a diffuse low density in the territory of one posterior cerebral artery. The possible mechanism involved is discussed.
