assessment of brain atrophy associated with septic ICU patients by using MSCT Volumetry
Sepsis is the leading cause of admission to ICU , the number of patients who survive and discharge from ICU has also increased due to technological advances in ICU however quality of life of these patients after ICU discharge is lower than that of healthy people of a similar age, in particular Sepsis associated encephalopathy associated with brain dysfunction. We hypothesized that brain damage including brain volume reduction that ocurre in acute phase of Sepsis using CT scan and there finding " relationship to risk factor and outcome". We compared head CT finding at time of admission with those obtained during the course of the treatment

Using Semi-automatic MSCT Volumetry in assessment of brain atrophy associated with septic ICU patients
- Correlation between sepsis and brain volume reduction . - Determine the role of the CT scan in assess brain volume in acute phase of sepsis and it,s influences in improvement activities of daily living.
\- Determine the role of the CT scan in assess brain volume in acute phase of sepsis and it,s influences in improvement activities of daily living after discharge from ICU.
Time frame: follow up through 10 days after admission in ICU
