Abstract

We present here the CT findings in 10 patients with Reye symdrome. Acute finding is diffuse cerebral swelling with or without parenchymal low density. The cerebral swelling gradually changed to atrophy. The parenchymal lowdensity predisposes in Lt temporoparietal area. Contrast enhanced CT scan showed no additional finding, except 1case. The hemorrhagic infarction which has not been reported previously was seen in 1 case and resulted in themost prominent sequela. The sequelae were developed in all atrophic cases. So, the brain CT amy be useful inmonitoring cerebral swelling, determining treatment plan in acute stage, and in presuming prognosis and sequelqeon follow up CT.
