Intraventricular migration of an isolated fourth ventricular cysticercus following cerebrospinal fluid shunting
BACKGROUND Isolated intraventricular neurocysticercosis (NCC) is less frequently seen and can be missed on plain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Three-dimensional constructive interference in steady state (CISS) sequence is an extremely helpful sequence in identifying the lesion but is rarely used routinely. CASE DESCRIPTION Here, we report a case of young male adult who presented with dimi...
متن کاملHuman cerebrospinal fluid microRNA: temporal changes following subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a devastating form of hemorrhagic stroke with 30-day mortality between 33 and 45%. Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is the chief cause of morbidity and mortality in patients who survive the initial aSAH. DCI accounts for almost 50% of deaths in patients surviving to treatment of the ruptured aneurysm. The mechanisms for brain injury after aSAH and the...
