It may be safe to say that we can rule out a concussion for this patient. The CT scan is negative for trauma to the skull, brain bleed and negative for tumors. However, there is a slight abnormality regarding the smaller size of the ventricles but otherwise unremarkable.

CT scan or computed tomography is a medical imagining technique employed as a diagnostic tool in which x-rays are used to generate the image of the body.

CSF production, rupturing of blood vessel, brain tumor and arachnoid villi occlusion can be ruled out.

The following can be ruled out from hypothesis:

  • The decreased size of the ventricle rules out a choroid plexus producing too much CSF (cerebrospinal fluid).

  • Enlargement of the ventricular system is the characteristic of excessive CSF.

  • As there is neither internal or external bleeding, there are no ruptured blood vessels.

  • The CT scan results rule out a brain tumor because of the tiny ventricles, there is no arachnoid villi occlusion.

Thus, all the above are ruled out in order to form a conclusion.
