BACKGROUND Neurologic complications can occur with varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection, usually after vesicular exanthem. A review of the literature revealed 3 cases of viral meningitis associated with 6th nerve palsy but without significantly increased intracranial pressure. CASE REPORT We report a case of a previously healthy 15-year-old girl with aseptic meningitis as a result of reacti...

This study aimed at compare influences of airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) and Synchronized Intermittent Mechanical Ventilation (SIMV) on intracranial pressure and oxygenation status in patients with traumatic brain injuries. A clinical trial was carried out in 40 patients with traumatic brain injuries in the intensive care unit in Kamyab neurosurgery Hospital, Mashhad, Iran. The pati...

Background: Intracranial hypertension (IH) is a secondary clinical condition due to the loss of brain compensatory mechanisms, leading increased intracranial pressure (ICP) and changes in cerebral blood flow, which can result hypoxia, injury, herniation. Brain4care (b4c) device that explores variations compliance allows measurement ICP non-invasive serial way, addition, it predict evolution tre...

Increased intracranial pressure may produce a variety of clinical manifestations, some common and others rare. We present a patient with idiopathic intracranial hypertension whose initial symptom was hemifacial spasm. All signs and symptoms of intracranial hypertension resolved with acetazolamide.

Gorham-Stout disease (GSD), also known as vanishing bone disease, is a rare disorder, which most commonly presents in children and young adults and is characterized by an excessive proliferation of lymphangiomatous tissue within the bones. This lymphangiomatous proliferation often affects the cranium and, due to the proximate location to the dura surrounding cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) spaces, ca...

INTRODUCTION Increased ICP is common and might precipitate cerebral vasospasm (VSP)-induced ischemic events in aneurysmal SAH (ASAH).Our objective was to determine if there is an association between increased ICP and transcranial colour coded Doppler-angiographic VSP (TCCD-A VSP) in relation to delayed neurological deficit (DND) and poor outcome. METHODS A retrospective study was undertaken i...

Intracranial Pressure Gradients Associated With Experimental Cerebral Embolism • In a series of 20 cats unilateral cerebral oil embolism was followed by the development of clinical signs of increased intracranial pressure. Simultaneous bilateral epidural pressure measurements revealed marked pressure gradients between both cerebral hemispheres. Such local (tissue) pressure gradients possibly in...

"Etude etiologique de la circulation ra.pide iutra-rena-le"  Le but de l'angiographle renale n'est pas '.seu­lement le controle anatomique de l'organe, une etude physiologique (Hemodynamique) doit toujours etre prise en consideration.  Le temps normal de la circulation intra-renale selon les differents auteurs varie entre 6 a 8, 8 a 10 et 10 a 12 secondes, mais le temps moyen est de 6 a 8 seco...

Intracranial arachnoid cysts are typically benign lesions, but rarely, they may cause signs and symptoms relating to increased intracranial pressure. We report 4 pediatric patients with arachnoid cysts who received successful surgical treatment after failing to respond to conservative medical therapies. After undergoing a shunting procedure, each patient experienced improvement in symptoms, res...

The management of severe traumatic brain injury still represents a challenge for the neurosurgeons and neurointensivist specialists. The central aim of the therapy is lowering the intracranial pressure. There are many ways of accomplishing this goal, by means of medical or surgical treatment. This article is a review of the papers and guidelines in the literature regarding the control of the el...
