Overview

Different imaging methods can be used during toxic shock syndrome (TSS) evaluation which are more useful to assess the disease complications. Brain CT-scan can be used to diagnose cerebral edema as a major dangerous complication.

Brain CT-scan

Cerebral edema may happen as a complication of the disease. In brain CT-scan a midline shift, or effacement of the basilar cisterns may be seen due to cerebral edema. Some experts insist in the usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging because of its sensitivity, although the imaging technique lacks specificity in the diagnosis of TSS related complications.[1][2]
