stroke, though rare in children is among the top 10 causes of death in childhood. incidence of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke is the same in children .we report a case of hemorrhagic stroke in a two year old girl who presented with a limp, inability to stand on the left leg and left hemiparesia. her complaint began 10 days ago after a bout of left clonic seizure. she had been admitted to the h...

INTRODUCTION Sudden severe hemorrhage from locally advanced fungating breast carcinoma and its associated cutaneous lesions is rarely reported. Transcatheter arterial embolization has been used widely in the setting of intractable neoplastic hemorrhage arising from primary and metastatic tumors of the lung, liver, kidney, and gastrointestinal tract. Here, we detail the use of transcatheter arte...

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) plays an important role in blood volume and electrolyte homeostasis in normovolemia and in hypervolemic states. The currently available information on the effects of hypovolemia on plasma ANP is contradictory. Moreover, possible regulation of ANP receptors during severe hemorrhagic hypovolemia has not been investigated. This study evaluated the effects of severe...

KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE Placenta percreta (with bladder invasion) is a rare obstetric condition with the risk of massive intraoperative hemorrhage. In these cases, the combination of a transverse uterine fundal incision and retrograde cesarean hysterectomy could be useful to minimize maternal hemorrhage and avoid severe bladder injury.

Background and Purpose—Thrombolysis is the only approved therapy for ischemic stroke, but secondary hemorrhage is a severe complication. Because oral anticoagulants are believed to increase the risk of hemorrhage, thrombolysis is usually contraindicated in patients on vitamin K antagonists. We studied whether thrombolysis in a thromboembolic middle cerebral artery occlusion model in rats pretre...

Two male patients with Goodpasture's syndrome manifesting as severe pulmonary hemorrhage with minimal renal abnormalities are described. Both patients had microscopic hematuria with normal renal function, and one had transient proteinuria. Renal glomerular histology was normal and electron microscopic findings revealed no electron-dense deposits, but immunofluorescence of immunoglobulin G (IgG)...

PURPOSE To report the immediate complication of dense vitreous hemorrhage after intravitreal injection of tissue plasminogen activator and gas for treatment of two cases of sudden submacular hemorrhage associated with retinal arterial macroaneurysm. METHODS Case reports. RESULTS Two patients, a 67-year-old woman and a 92-year-old man, presented with sudden vision loss related to submacular ...

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.

Background: High resolution CT scan has made early diagnosis of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) easier. Posttraumatic intraventricular hemorrhage has been reported to a greater extent because of the CT scan. Methods: 904 patients were admitted in the NSICU from March 2001 to March 2002 with severe closed head injury, of those only 31 patients with intraventricular hemorrhage (GCS less than 8)...
