OBJECTIVE To evaluate the usefulness of fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging sequences in the detection of acute subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). METHODS MR imaging with FLAIR sequences was performed with a 0.5-T superconducting unit in 20 patients (aged 30-72 years) with acute SAH due to a ruptured aneurysm and in 27 control subjects (aged 32-72 years). FLAIR images were obtained 2 hours to 2 days after ictus. Findings were evaluated and compared with computed tomographic (CT) findings. RESULTS In all patients, acute SAH was clearly demonstrated as an area with signal intensity that was high relative to that of the normal cerebrospinal fluid and surrounding brain parenchyma at FLAIR imaging. This sequence was especially useful in demonstration of acute SAH in the posterior fossa, which was difficult to show at CT because of beam-hardening artifacts. In a double-blind comparison, no FLAIR images acquired in control subjects were confused with those acquired in control subjects were confused with those acquired in patients. CONCLUSIONS FLAIR sequences reliably provide diagnostic images in patients with acute SAH.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D001933 Brain Stem The part of the brain that connects the CEREBRAL HEMISPHERES with the SPINAL CORD. It consists of the MESENCEPHALON; PONS; and MEDULLA OBLONGATA. Brainstem,Truncus Cerebri,Brain Stems,Brainstems,Cerebri, Truncus,Cerebrus, Truncus,Truncus Cerebrus
D002531 Cerebellum The part of brain that lies behind the BRAIN STEM in the posterior base of skull (CRANIAL FOSSA, POSTERIOR). It is also known as the "little brain" with convolutions similar to those of CEREBRAL CORTEX, inner white matter, and deep cerebellar nuclei. Its function is to coordinate voluntary movements, maintain balance, and learn motor skills. Cerebella,Corpus Cerebelli,Parencephalon,Cerebellums,Parencephalons
D002532 Intracranial Aneurysm Abnormal outpouching in the wall of intracranial blood vessels. Most common are the saccular (berry) aneurysms located at branch points in CIRCLE OF WILLIS at the base of the brain. Vessel rupture results in SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE or INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES. Giant aneurysms (>2.5 cm in diameter) may compress adjacent structures, including the OCULOMOTOR NERVE.
