Table 3 Marshall score based on CT scan for the study patients
From: Assessment of brain midline shift using sonography in neurosurgical ICU patients
Marshall category | Number | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
Diffuse Injury I (no visible pathology) | 3 | 5.8% |
Diffuse Injury II (cisterns are present with midline shift of 0 to 5 mm and/or lesions densities present; no high or mixed density lesion >25 cm3 may include bone fragments and foreign bodies) | 4 | 7.7% |
Diffuse injury III (swelling) (cisterns compressed or absent with midline shift of 0 to 5 mm; no high or mixed density lesion >25 cm3 | 13 | 25% |
Diffuse injury IV (shift) (midline shift >5 mm; no high or mixed density lesion >25 cm3) | 19 | 36.5% |
Evacuated mass lesion (any lesion surgically evacuated) | 7 | 13.5% |
Non-evacuated mass lesion (high or mixed density lesion >25 cm3; not surgically evacuated) | 6 | 11.5% |
Total | 52 | 100% |
