CASE REPORT To describe a case of combined bilateral cranial nerve palsy of traumatic origin. To determine the lesions that produce the symptoms is useful to define the final prognosis and the best treatment. DISCUSSION We report the case of a patient who developed a bilateral sixth nerve and left third nerve palsy after head trauma. The underlying lesion was a diffuse axonal injury. After an...

Cavernous sinus syndrome (CSS) is a condition characterized by multiple cranial nerve palsies manifesting with ophthalmoplegia, ptosis, and facial sensory loss due to involvement of adjacent cranial nerves. Tumors, trauma, and vascular, infectious, and noninfectious inflammatory disorders have all been described as causes. Lymphomas have been reported to involve the cavernous sinus, both as pri...

Cranial nerve injuries are well-recognized complications of laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation and face mask ventilation. Recently, these have also been reported in association with extraglottic airway devices. Its diagnosis is clinical and it has a good prognosis, with resolution of the symptoms within a few weeks to months. The frequency of cranial nerve injuries can be reduced by avoiding ...

Anomalies in the vascular structures of the neck, cranial base, temporal bone, and intracranial circulation may give rise to pulsatile tinnitus. If the anomalous sound is perceived also by others, then it is defined as objective tinnitus. Herein, the case is reported of right pulsatile tinnitus of one year's duration, which appeared after cranial trauma. Magnetic resonance angiography showed th...

Fracture of the cranial bones following trauma is common. The fracture most commonly encountered in clinical practice is an undisplaced linear fracture of a skull bone or a depressed skull fracture. Compound elevated skull fracture, unlike depressed skull fracture is an extremely rare variety of post-traumatic cranial injury, seldom seen in modern clinical practice. Authors report one such rare...

A 35-year-old man was transferred comatose to a level-1 trauma center after being struck by a train. His vital signs were stable upon arrival. His physical examination revealed a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 3, extensive scalp laceration, and raccoon eyes, with normal findings for other systems. He was subsequently intubated, and computed tomography (CT) of the head and cervical spine as well as...

A 26-year-old shepherd man was admitted to the emergency department in June 2020 after ground current effect of lightning strike. With severity trauma, patient fell and then fainted. Since trauma not known exactly, there an open wound head, had dyspnea elevated liver function tests, cranial, thorax abdominal computed tomography (CT) were performed. On CT scan, approximately 7-cm-in length grade...

This paper presents two cases of healed skull trauma recovered from medieval mass burial sites in Kutná Hora-Sedlec (Kutná Hora District/CZ). These recently unearthed pits are historically and contextually associated with key catastrophes: (1) a famine the early 14th century; (2) Black Death mid-14th century. The first evidence survival severe cranial injury highly probable surgical interventio...

OBJECTIVES: 1) To verify clinical signs correlated with appropriate cranial computed tomography scan indications and changes in the therapeutic approach in pediatric minor head trauma scenarios. 2) To estimate the radiation exposure of computed tomography scans with low dose protocols in the context of trauma and the additional associated risk. METHODS: Investigators reviewed the medical reco...
