Hyperemia causing delayed recovery in traumatic brain injury

Shalini Nair, Ramanan Rajagopal

Indian Journal of Critical Care Medicine 2017 21(4):232-234

Subarachnoid hemorrhage is a common manifestation of traumatic brain injury. A clinical deterioration in Glasgow Coma Scale score without an accompanying radiological worsening is suggestive of vasospasm. However, hyperemia could be another possibility which can easily be considered with corroborating transcranial Doppler (TCD) features. This case report reiterates the value of TCD in such instances.
