Abstract

Computerized tomography has been proven to be of particular value in patients with head trauma. Neverthless, primary traumatic brainstem lesions are not always revealing even by the advent of brain CT. In two cases of head trauma, we identified midbrain hemorrhage by CT scan. One of them was hemorrhage in the quadrigeminal plate, the quadrigeminal cistern, and the vermis; the other small round isolated hemorrhage in the quadrigeminal plate. They were well correlated with the clinical findings. Those two patients got well with conservative treatment.
