BACKGROUND Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction is an independent predictor of adverse outcome in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The classical quantification of intraventricular obstruction is performed in resting conditions in supine position, but this assessment does not reflect what happens in HCM patients (pts) in their daily activities, neither during effort nor during orthostati...

We report a case of malignant intraventricular meningioma with CSF drop metastases and an implantation metastatic subgaleal nodule in a 53-year-old woman. Malignant intraventricular meningiomas are rare with only seven cases being reported in the literature. These tumours can be very aggressive and one should consider immediate postoperative radiotherapy.

Intraventricular cavernous hemangiomas are uncommon. Among them, those occurred at the foramen of Monro in the third ventricle may be of particular interest because of its rarity, development of hydrocephalus, being differentiated from other brain lesions. We present a rare case of intraventricular cavernous hemangioma at foramen of Monro which was resected through microsurgery and also review ...

A 22-year-old man sustained a severe head injury and had a torn posterior meningeal artery that caused massive intraventricular hemorrhage. Traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the posterior meningeal artery should be considered in cases where intraventricular hemorrhage occurs in the presence of occipital bone fracture and contiguous epidural hematoma; vertebral angiography is of value in this regard.

Lateral intraventricular tumors are not frequently observed. Since these tumors grow linearly rather than exponentially, they grow gradually and thus do not cause mass effects and hydrocephalus. This study is the case report of a rare great volume left intraventricular epidermoid cyst rupture. The tumor was found to be associated with mass effect on neighboring structures and hydrocephalus.

OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of Intraventricular Haemorrhage in pre-term infants, along with adverse neonatal outcomes associated with the disease. METHODS The retrospective case control study was conducted at Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, and comprised patients' records from January 2004 to December 2009 of preterm babies from 26-35 weeks of gestation who had Intraventricula...

objective(s) the effect of testosterone on anxiety-like behaviors has been the subject of some studies. there is evidence that testosterone modulates anxiety via gaba (gama aminobutyric acid) and gabaergic system. the involvement of gabac receptors in those effects of testosterone on anxiety-like behaviors of the rats was investigated in the present study. materials and methods a group of rats ...

background interventricular hemorrhage (ivh) and broncho pulmonary dysplasia(bpd) commonly occur in premature infants and they associate with platelet dysfunction. the aim of this study was to investigate the association of mpv and occurrence of ivh and bpd. materials and methods in this cross sectional study, 3 groups including ivh, bpd and control were compared. all participants were preterm ...

Twenty-six patients with neurocysticercosis were studied with MR imaging to correlate their clinical presentation with the location and appearance of their neurocysticercosis lesions. Intraventricular cysts were present in 14 patients (54%), parenchymal cysts were present in 18 (69%), and intraventricular together with parenchymal cysts were present in six (23%). Intraventricular cysts were det...

OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of hyperglycemia in extremely low birth-weight infants and to determine whether hyperglycemia increases the risk of early adverse outcomes (death or intraventricular hemorrhage of grade 3 or 4) and/or affects the length of hospital stay among survivors without intraventricular hemorrhage. METHODS The charts of all extrem...
