High-degree centrum semiovale-perivascular spaces are associated with development of subdural fluid in mild traumatic brain injury.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Severe centrum semiovale perivascular spaces (CSO-PVSs) are associated with the onset of brain atrophy and dementia. This study explored the relationship between severity of CSO-PVS and development of subdural fluid (SDF) in patients with mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), with the aim of investigating independent radiological risk factors for development of SDF. METHODS:The study cohort comprised 222 patients with a mean age of 51 years (64.0% men) who presented with mild TBI from January 2013 to November 2016. In this study, mild TBI was defined as a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) of ≥ 13, Post-Traumatic Amnesia (PTA) of <1 day, and Loss of Consciousness (LOC) of <30 minutes. The severity of CSO-PVS was categorized as low or high-degree. RESULTS:Among the 222 enrolled patients, 38 (
