Central Sulcus NP/MGH The Central Sulcus (CS)* • superior frontal sulcus - pre CS sign • sigmoidal Hook sign • pars bracket sign • Bifid post-CS sign • thin postcentral gyrus sign • intraparital sulcus - post-CS • midline sulcus sign *Naidich & Brightbill. Int J Neurorad 1996;2:313-338 NP/MGH The Central Sulcus (CS) • Superior frontal sulcus - preCS sign – the posterior end of the superior frontal sulcus joins the precentral sulcus in 85% Superior frontal gyrus Superior frontal sulcus Superior frontal sulcus Precentral sulcus Precentral sulcus Precentral gyrus Precentral gyrus Central sulcus NP/MGH The Central Sulcus (CS) • Sigmoid “Hook” – hooklike configuration of the posterior surface of the Precentral sulcus precentral gyrus – the “hook” corresponds to the motor hand area. – The “hook” is well seen on CT (89%) and MRI (98%). Central sulcus NP/MGH The Central Sulcus (CS) Precentral gyrus • pars bracket sign Superior frontal – The paired pars sulcus marginalis form a “bracket” to each Precentral sulcus side of the interhemispheric fissure at or behind the central sulcus Central sulcus (96%).
