Ballooning degeneration centre-left and centre-right. H&E stain. A Councilman body can also be seen in the upper-right of the section. In histo pathology, ballooning degeneration, formally ballooning degeneration of hepatocytes, is a form of liver parenchymal cell (i.e. hepatocyte) death.
The dense MCA sign is a dense artery sign observed on non-contrast computed tomography (CT) of the brain and is an important early marker of acute ischemic stroke involving the middle cerebral artery territory. [1] It refers to an abnormally increased attenuation (hyperdensity) of the MCA, reflecting an intraluminal thrombus or embolus.
Feathery degeneration - large cells with pale flocculant cytoplasm (left-bottom and right-top).H&E stain.. In histo pathology, feathery degeneration, formally feathery degeneration of hepatocytes, is a form of liver parenchymal cell (i.e. hepatocyte) death associated with cholestasis.
Pancreatic cancers become hypodense compared to the parenchyma. [9] Hepatic (most accurate) or late portal phase 70-80 sec: 50-60 sec Liver parenchyma enhances through portal vein supply, normally with some enhancement of the hepatic veins. Nephrogenic phase 100 sec: 80 sec All of the renal parenchyma enhances, including the medulla, allowing ...
Transient hepatic attenuation differences (THAD) are areas of enhancement during the arterial phase of contrast CT of the liver. THAD is thought to be a physiological phenomenon resulting from regional variation in the blood supply by the portal vein and/or the hepatic artery .
Those with parenchymal contusion would require frequent follow-up imaging because such contusions may grow large enough to become hemorrhage and exerts significant mass effect on the brain. [3] Cerebral microhemorrhages is a smaller form of hemorrhagic parenchymal contusion and are typically found in white matter. Such microhemorrhages are ...
Three main structures are commonly investigated when measuring midline shift. The most important of these is the septum pellucidum, which is a thin and linear layer of tissue located between the right and left ventricles. [7] It is easily found on CT or MRI images due to its unique hypodensity. [7]
The treatment of hepatic encephalopathy depends on the suspected underlying cause (types A, B, or C) and the presence or absence of underlying causes. If encephalopathy develops in acute liver failure (type A), even in a mild form (grade 1–2), it indicates that a liver transplant may be required, and transfer to a specialist centre is advised ...
