Overview
On brain CT-scan, toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is characterized by a midline shift, or effacement of the basilar cisterns due to cerebral edema.
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]
