Шаблон:Orphan Fogging phenomenon in computerized tomography (CT) scanning of the head is vanishing signs of an infarct on the serial CT imaging in a patient with a recent stroke.[1] It is a reversal of the hypodensity on the CT after an acute ischemic stroke. This happens as a result of re-nourishment of the infarcted area in subacute phase about one to three weeks after the stroke.[2] In fact, resolution of the edema, which was caused by the accident, leads to increased attenuation of infarcted area that may regain near-normal density and mask the stroke. However, in the third week, parenchymal volume loss commonly appears as a hypoattenuation (decreased attenuation) with a negative mass effect (shrinkage).[3]
