OBJECTIVE To assess the role of this procedure to prevent hemorrhage in cerebral arteriovenous malformations (cAVM). METHOD Between 1992 and 2000, we studied 104 patients submitted to embolization as the main treatment. Patients were followed until hemorrhage or death. RESULTS Follow-up ranged from 1.6 months to 8 years. The most frequent presentations were hemorrhage (50%) and seizures (38...

ABSTRACT Uterine artery embolization (UAE), a minimally invasive procedure used for controlling and managing profuse bleeding in conditions like uterine fibroids, hemorrhage, cases of intractable postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). A wide array complications due to UAE includes pulmonary embolism, ischemia, necrosis, sepsis, death. 27 years old married woman (parity 1+2) presented with complaints mass...

abstract   background: isolated adrenal hemorrhage is an uncommon condition and its diagnosis is usually made during autopsy. adrenal hemorrhage (ah) is one of the very rare complications of trauma in adults. ah is associated with meningococcal septicemia and disseminated intravascular coagulation (water house–friderichsen syndrome). hypotension, tumors, complications of pregnancy, surgical str...

INTRODUCTION Both aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and benign perimesencephalic hemorrhage are well-described causes of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage that arise as a result of different pathologic processes. To the best of the authors' knowledge, there have been no reports of both vascular pathologies occurring in the same individual. CASE PRESENTATION A 51-year-old Caucasian woman wi...

INTRODUCTION Non-aneurysmal spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage is characterized by an accumulation of a limited amount of subarachnoid hemorrhage, predominantly around the midbrain, and a lack of blood in the brain parenchyma or ventricular system. It represents 5% of all spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage cases. In spite of extensive investigation, understanding of the mechanisms leading to ...

Experiments were carried out in conscious, chronically instrumented lambs (n = 8) and young adult sheep (n = 11) to investigate age-dependent renal responses to hemorrhage. Various parameters of renal function were measured for 1 h before and 1 h after either 10% hemorrhage (experiment 1) or 20% hemorrhage (experiment 2). The two experiments were carried out in random order at intervals of 2-5 ...

Introduction: The present case study reports an intraparenchymal hemorrhage from a ruptured basilar tip aneurysm without subarachnoid hemorrhage. Case Report: A 57-year-old male presented with intraparenchymal hemorrhage from a ruptured basilar tip aneurysm without subarachnoid hemorrhage. The patient had successful endovascular embolization of his ruptured cerebral aneurysm 9 years previously....
