Anatomy Y3 Outcomes Flashcards
Cerebral atrophy
CT non contrast
Marked prominance of sulci and ventricles
Extradural Heamatoma
Midline shift
Heamorrhage between insider surface of the skull and outer layer of the dura
Axial bone window
Fracture of R Temporal bone (and extends to frontal on slices)
Non-contrast head CT reveals hyperdense extra-axial collection overlying the right hemisphere consistent with acute subdural hematoma
T2 MRI
Multi-infarct dementia
Hydrocephalus
Severe Hydrocephalus
Incomplete fracture of Distal Radius - break in convex side
Greenstick fracture
13 yr old, fell off monkey bars
Normal elbow - Ossification centres in right position
Where are non-accidental fractures often found?
Metaphyseal fractures
Rub - esp. posterior rib
Skull fractures
Scapular
Sternal
Metaphyseal fracture
Highly suspicious of NAI
What is the Diaphysis?
The shaft of a long bone
Cortical outer region and cancellous central region with bone marrow
What is a metaphysis?
The wide portion of a long bone, where growth occurs.
It is adjacent to the physis (growth plate)
What is the Epiphysis?
The rounded end of a long bone, distal to the physis
Once growth plate has fused the epiphysis joins the metaphysis
What is an apophysis?
A normal bony outgrowth that results from another ossification centre
Can be mistaken as a fracture
