small medial lenticulostriate and thalamo-perforating branches, resulting in basal ganglia and thalamus infarctions. These can be sensitively demonstrated using DWI, and MRA or black blood, high-resolution, thin-section 3D black blood, black CSF vessel wall imaging (VWI) (Fig.6.10) sequences can reveal narrowed enhancing vasculitic vessels (other infectious causes of vasculitis include aspergillosis and vari­cella zoster virus (VZV) infection).
Tuberculoma is the most common parenchymal form of CNS; imaging appearances depend on the different stages of infection; and tuberculomas heal by resolving or calcifying. Early, non-caseating tuberculomas show homogenous, nodu­lar enhancement with low signal on T1-weighted images and high signal on T2-weighted images, and surrounding oedema. Solid caseating tuberculomas show variable signal intensity due to paramagnetic free radicals. Liquifying caseating tuber­culomas resemble pyogenic abscess in signal and enhancing characteristics but are typically smaller with less surrounding oedema. Tuberculous abscesses are rarer, larger, multilocu-

lated and are often indistinguishable from pyogenic abscess. Miliary TB with innumerable small enhancing lesions at the grey-white matter junction typically occurs in immunocom­promised patients with widespread extracranial disease. Spinal cord/meningeal TB, including osteomyelitis/disc infection, and psoas abscess, should also be sought.
Key Points
• Characteristic complications of tuberculosis. – Thick leptomeningeal enhancement affecting
basal cisterns. – Hydrocephalus. – Tuberculomas. – Tuberculous abscesses. – Vasculitic stenosis/beading and infarction (espe-
cially basal ganglia/thalamus). – Cranial nerve enhancement and pachymeningitis.

6.7 Viral Infections
6.7.1 Herpes Simplex Virus
HSV-1 is the commonest cause of acute encephalitis syn­drome, comprising 10–20% of identiable viruses. Typical ndings include unilateral or bilateral asymmetric swelling and hyperintensity on T2-weighted/FLAIR images, affecting hippocampus, anterior and medial temporal lobes and insular cortex (but often sparing the basal ganglia) (Fig.6.11). There is sometimes haemorrhage, DWI restriction, and contrast enhancement (compared to autoimmune encephalitis, see Sect. 6.8.1).
Key Points
• Many viral causes of encephalitis have yet to be identied.
• HSV-1 is the commonest virus and affects the hip­pocampus/temporal lobe.
• LGI1 antibody limbic encephalitis often mimics HSV-1 infection.
• Many arboviruses affect the thalamus bilaterally, sometimes with blood products.
• Varicella zoster virus is a major cause of vasculopa­thy and stroke in children.
ing shows linear enhancing vessel wall from vasculitis of the MCA branch artery, and enhancing subacute infarction of the right caudate nucleus
6.7.2 Arboviruses andOther Viruses
Arthropod-borne pathogens are spread by mosquitos, ticks, or other vectors. They include Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), dengue virus (DENV), and Zika viruses and typically have geographic and seasonal variability. In patients with bilateral thalamic involvement (especially with haemor­rhage), JEV and inuenza-associated encephalitis (IAE) should be considered (Fig. 6.12). IAE is most common in children under 5years of age, the elderly, and patients with co-morbidities. Enterovirus and rabies virus infections can involve the brainstem; VZV infection is a major cause of vas­culopathy and ischemic stroke in children.
6.7.3 Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a demyelinating disease caused by reactivation of JC virus (a polyomavirus) infection in immunocompromised patients, especially people living with HIV.Typical features are bilat­eral asymmetric frontal or/and parietooccipital subcortical U bre white matter involvement (very rarely is periventricular white matter affected rst); the middle cerebellar peduncle, pons, peri-dentate white matter may also be affected, but iso­lated spinal cord lesions are rare. Classic PML is typically hyperintense on T2-weighted and FLAIR images, low or iso-

6.8 Inammatory Diseases oftheCNS
Immune-mediated inammatory diseases of the CNS (Fig. 6.14) may be encountered by radiologists in patients with known cancer (paraneoplastic syndromes), in patients with known rheumatological diseases (e.g. systemic lupus erythematosus SLE, Sjogren’s disease), in patients after a viral infection (e.g. acute disseminated encephalomyelitis or ADEM), and nally as mimics of infection based on typical MRI patterns [5, 6]. Many of the imaging patterns of lepto­meningitis, pachymeningitis, encephalitis, or vascular dis­ease, described in the preceding sections of this chapter may also be caused by non-infectious inammation. Familiarity with these inammatory mimics may help diminish morbid­ity and future disability by facilitating appropriate treatments early, avoiding invasive brain biopsy, and triggering appro­priate CT of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis to screen for underlying cancer or sarcoidosis.
6.8.1 Autoimmune andLimbic Encephalitis: LGI1 Antibody Encephalitis
The cause of acute encephalitis syndrome can be either infective or noninfective. Clinically, limbic encephalitis often presents with anterograde memory loss, seizures, behavioural or psychiatric symptoms, with MRI abnor­malities affecting the hippocampus and medial temporal lobes bilaterally. Leucine-rich glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1) antibody is the commonest cause of limbic encephalitis mimicking HSV-1 infection (Fig. 6.15). Fever, a fulminant clinical course, unilateral involvement, absence of basal ganglia involvement, DWI restriction, and contrast enhancement, all favour HSV-1. Other auto­immune encephalitis is less consistent in their imaging
appearance; MRI in NMDA receptor encephalitis is more often normal, white matter abnormalities in MS, ADEM and MOG may mimic PML, and bilateral caudate and putamen abnormalities may be seen in anti- CV2/collapsin response mediator protein 5 (CRMP5) antibodies in occult small cell lung cancer. Brainstem, cerebellar, and spinal cord lesions are also associated with multiple autoim­mune pathologies.
6.8.2 Leptomeningeal Enhancement: Neurosarcoidosis
This multisystem inammatory granulomatous disease has a predilection to affect the leptomeninges (50%, especially basal meninges, mimicking TB), pituitary gland, optic and facial cranial nerves, and spinal meninges (Fig. 6.16). Differentiation of neurosarcoidosis from TB can be difcult or impossible by imaging alone.
Key Points
• Neurosarcoidosis can affect different brain/spine compartments and mimics tuberculosis.
• Focal pachymeningeal disease can be caused by TB, syphilis, Lyme disease, sarcoidosis, IgG4­related disease, antineutrophil cytoplasmic anti­body associated (ANCA), and tumours such as meningioma or metastasis.
• Autoimmune CNS vasculitis has variable, often nonspecic imaging ndings.
• Many antibodies in paraneoplastic and immune­mediated inammatory diseases have yet to be identied.

6.9 Concluding Remarks
Radiologists should be aware of the three characteristic imaging patterns in meningitis, abscess, and encephalitis. Clinical problem-solving based on MRI pattern recognition remains a fundamental skillset: our knowledge of typical features and their anatomical distribution enables us to pro­cess new data in novel infectious/inammatory agents con­sidering past differential diagnosis. Conventional and advanced MRI techniques and new point-of-care scanners have the potential to improve diagnostic performance in CNS infections, especially in future outbreaks and pandem­ics (Fig. 6.20) [7]. Future advances in PCR technology, machine learning, and new MRI biomarkers hold great promise for elucidating the pathogen and immune-mediated mechanisms of neuronal damage and complications. The role and value of radiologists are enhanced by multidisci­plinary team discussions, because “No man is an island”; we do not work in isolation, all of us are an essential part of the healthcare teams.

Take-Home Messages
• Multimodal MRI, including post-contrast 3D T2-FLAIR, DWI, SWI, and vessel wall imaging is useful for problem-solving.
• Although CNS infection typically presents with characteristic patterns of meningitis, abscess, HSV-1 encephalitis, it is important to remember their mimics and differentiating features.
• Restricted diffusion on DWI has high sensitivity and specicity for meningitis and pyogenic abscess, respectively.
• HSV-1 infection and LGI1-antibody encephalitis can both cause medial temporal and hippocampal abnormalities.
• Specic infectious agents including HIV and TB may have characteristic MRI appearances and complications.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury is a common injury worldwide that
affects individuals of all ages. Injuries can range in sever-
ity. Timely assessment of injury is important to triage
cases that may be severe and imminently life-threatening,
and neuroimaging is a critical component to the clinical
care of such patients. Injuries may occur in multiple
spaces from the extracranial soft tissues to the potential
spaces between meningeal layers to the brain parenchyma
itself. The neck and intracranial arterial and venous ves-
sels can also be injured with devastating sequelae. CT,
CTA, MRI, and MRA can all be useful in the assessment
of head injury. In particular, CT is often used as a rst-line
imaging modality to screen for acute intracranial injury.
MRI can be useful in patients who have discordance
between symptoms and CT ndings as well as in those
with more prolonged symptoms or who suffer chronic
sequelae of injury. Neuroimaging research is ongoing
using MRI to study the underlying pathophysiology of
head injury.
Keywords
Head trauma · Brain injury · CT · MRI
Learning Objectives
• Review imaging techniques used to help diagnose and evaluate patients with CNS trauma.
• Compare the utility of CT vs MRI in evaluating TBI patients with a spectrum of brain injuries.
• Show various forms of surgical vs non-surgical intracranial abnormalities resulting from head trauma.
Key Points
• CT is the primary imaging modality utilized to assess patients following CNS trauma in the urgent setting due to availability, speed, and few contraindications.
• Initial CT ndings can assist in the appropriate tri­age of patients that require urgent surgical manage­ment and those that would benet from non-surgical monitoring.
• MRI is useful in patients who suffer from neuro­logic symptoms out of proportion to initial CT imaging ndings and to assist in the detection of brain injuries below the sensitivity of CT.

7.1 Introduction
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading health concern with approximately 2.8 million reported emergency department visits in 2014in the United States. Of these, there is an esti­mated 288,000 TBI-related hospitalizations and 56,800 TBI­related deaths [1]. The majority of these cases involve elderly adults over age 75years followed by young children [2] with a global incidence estimate of 100–749 cases per 100,000 [3]. These staggering numbers are themselves likely to be
