Diagnóstico Diferencial Para una lesión circular hipodensa en la región frontoparietal izquierda, se consideran las siguientes posibilidades:

  • Diagnóstico más probable
  • Infarto cerebral: La ubicación y la apariencia hipodensa sugieren un área de daño cerebral debido a una falta de flujo sanguíneo, lo que es característico de un infarto cerebral.
  • Otros diagnósticos probables
  • Hematoma cerebral: Aunque la lesión es hipodensa, podría tratarse de un hematoma en estadio de resolución, donde el sangrado ha sido reabsorbido parcialmente.
  • Absceso cerebral: Una infección focal en el cerebro podría presentarse como una lesión hipodensa, especialmente si hay un componente cavitario.
  • No debes perder de vista (diagnósticos potencialmente letales si se pasan por alto)
  • Tumor cerebral: Aunque menos común, algunos tumores cerebrales pueden presentarse con áreas hipodensas, especialmente si hay necrosis o cystificación.
  • Enfermedad de Creutzfeldt-Jakob: Esta enfermedad degenerativa rara puede causar lesiones hipodensas en el cerebro, aunque su presentación es más típicamente difusa.
  • Diagnósticos raros
  • Enfermedad de Binswanger: Una enfermedad vascular que afecta la sustancia blanca subcortical y podría presentar áreas hipodensas, aunque es más característica por su patrón difuso.
  • Leucoencefalopatía multifocal progresiva: Una infección viral rara que causa lesiones hipodensas en el cerebro, especialmente en pacientes inmunocomprometidos.
