Insular DWI Hyperintensities in Subdural Hematoma: A case series and pathophysiologic review (P5.056)

Conclusions:Proposed mechanisms for SDH-associated insular infarction include venous hypertension and traumatic arterial vasospasm. SDH-associated insular infarction is a marker of greater disease severity. Advanced imaging findings may be an important biomarker of disease severity and may influence complex management decisions. Future prospective studies are necessary to determine the incidence of SDH-associated infarction, putative stroke mechanisms, and resulting patient outcomes.Disclosure: Dr. Sacchetti has nothing to disclose.
