The pathogenesis of delayed cerebral edema after intracerebral hemorrhage is still unclear. In this case report, we speculate that the formation subdural effusion or associated with edema. By referring to treatment plan chronic hematoma, adding dexamethasone routine medication, certain therapeutic effect has been achieved. Dexamethasone may maintain stability blood-brain barrier by directly inc...

<i>Arisaema amurense</i> is well-known as a poisonous plant. Its toxicity probably due to calcium oxalate crystal, which provokes the painful oropharyngeal edema, hypersalivation, aphonia, oral ulceration, airway obstruction and hypocalcemia. Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) disorder manifesting neurological symptoms such headache, encephalopathy, seizures visual ...

INTRODUCTION Malignant middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke has a disproportionately high mortality due to the rapid development of refractory space-occupying cerebral edema. Animal models are essential in developing successful anti-edema therapies; however to date poor clinical translation has been associated with the predominately used rodent models. As such, large animal gyrencephalic models ...

Background and Objective: The S100B protein has recently been considered as an important marker for predicting severe brain damage; however, there has been very little evidence of increasing this marker in cerebral edema due to metabolic disorders such as diabetes ketoacidosis (DKA). This study was designed and performed to evaluate the prognostic role of S100B protein in predicting brain edema...

Background and Purpose—Hemorrhagic transformation is frequently seen on CT scans obtained in the subacute phase of ischemic stroke. Its prognostic value is controversial. Methods—We analyzed 554 patients with acute ischemic stroke enrolled in the Multicenter Acute Stroke Trial–Italy (MAST-I) study in whom a second CT scan was performed on day 5. Presence of 1) intraparenchymal hemorrhages (hema...
