* C indicates compression and/or mass effect on the fourth ventricle; E, effacement of the basal cisterns and cortical sulci; GW, decreased gray matter–white matter differentiation.
† Mean attenuation levels were obtained with a region of interest drawn in the basal cisterns. NA indicates not available.
‡ LP indicates lumbar puncture.
§ DKA indicates diabetic ketoacidosis; SIDS, sudden infant death syndrome.
