Overview
There are no CT scan findings associated with alcohol withdrawal.
CT Scan
- There are no CT scan findings associated with alcohol withdrawal.
- However, it has been suggested that in linear CT scan measurements in patients that are dependent on alcohol and have a history of delirium tremens, the maximum width of the anterior interhemispheric fissure (MIF) and the maximum width of the Sylvian fissure (MSF) are significantly larger compared to those patients that did not have delirium tremens and controls.[1]
