Noncontrast computed tomographic (CT) findings in 10 patients with profound brain swelling or a mass effect revealed a high density of the falx and tentorium and thus suggested subarachnoid hemorrhage. Postmortem examinations performed shortly after the CT scans demonstrated no subarachnoid blood. A review of 100 CT scans drawn at random was carried out to assess the frequency of a hyperdense, noncalcified falx in the same population and failed to demonstrate this finding. Therefore, in the presence of profound brain swelling or a mass effect, factors other than subarachnoid hemorrhage may be responsible for increased density of the falx and tentorium on cranial CT head scans.
