Legend Bilateral left greater than right low attenuation extraaxial fluid collections are present in the frontal regions. A small focus of hyperdensity along the medial aspect indicates blood products of different ages. Areas of low attenuation without mass effect are noted in the left temporal, parietooccipital, & thalamic regions, consistent with encephalomalacia.

Legend Axial CT images more rostrally show the layering blood products of different ages in the left subdural hematoma. Encephalomalacia is again seen in the left frontoparietal and occipital regions.

Legend Axial T2 and FLAIR weighted images clearly show the left convexity blood products of varying ages, as well as the area of chronic encephalomalacia in the left parietal region.

Legend On coronal and sagittal T1 weighted images without contrast there is increased signal intensity consistent with methemoglobin (subacute blood), as well as the isointense signal of the more chronic blood.

Legend The hypointense component posteriorly on the gradient echo image, which was hyperintense on T1, is consistent with intracellular methemoglobin. Key words: mri trauma
