Axial (above) and coronal (below) CT without contrast of the brain shows a right moderate sized high density cresenteric extra-axial fluid collection that extends around the entire right cerebral hemisphere as well as interhemispherically. There is also a left moderate sized low-density cresenteric extra-axial fluid collection.

The diagnosis was a right acute subdural hematoma and a left chronic subdural hematoma in a child abuse patient.
