i was on call one day (or wasn't I? i cant remember. s/times it doesnt matter whether u r on call, if u r involved in a case, u settle it there n then) n came across a referral with CT brain like these. this is what we call 'star sign'. ruptured aneurysm in brain blood vessels must be considered until proven otherwise. the patient was then referred straight to hospital Ipoh Neurosurgical department. Aneurysm mean abnormal dilation of blood vessel and may end up ruptured if unchecked or not repaired. it can happen to any part of the body where there is vessel. brain vessel aneurysm is especially dangerous if ruptured and usually they wont show any sign unless they rupture.
