We report the unusual phenomenon of abrupt intraventricular contrast medium leakage from the choroid plexus occurring during ethanol embolization of a periventricular arteriovenous malformation. There was no evidence of any associated intraventricular hemorrhage to suggest that leakage arose from a vessel perforation, as was first suspected. Intraventricular contrast medium leakage has been rep...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hemispheric location might influence outcome after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). INTERACT suggested higher short-term mortality in right hemispheric ICH, yet statistical imbalances were not addressed. This study aimed at determining the differences in long-term functional outcome in patients with right- vs. left-sided ICH with a priori-defined sub-analysis of lobar vs. ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of intraventricular fibrinolysis (IVF) compared with external ventricular drainage alone on mortality and functional outcome in the management of intraventricular hemorrhage secondary to spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage. METHODS The authors conducted a systematic review and performed a meta-analysis....

OBJECTIVE To analyze CT findings in hemorrhagic stroke patients correlation with clinical outcome and assess the interobserver agreement of hemorrhagic stroke identification on CT imaging. MATERIAL AND METHOD CT imaging features of 131 cases and clinical data were verified and collected at Siriraj Hospital from Jan 2004 to Dec 2005 and retrospectively analyzed for type, location, mass effect,...

background: simultaneous electrocardiographic (ecg) changes are seen in hemorrhagic brain events even in the absence of associated myocardial infarction (mi). this study was designed to assess the role of ecg changes to predict true mi in patients with hemorrhagic brain trauma. methods: data of 153 patients with traumatic brain injury and concomitant ecg changes were recorded. enzyme study was ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Spontaneous idiopathic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) with a perimesencephalic bleeding pattern is usually associated with a benign course, whereas a diffuse bleeding pattern has been associated with a higher risk of vasospasm and disability. We evaluated whether volume of bleeding explains this disparity. METHODS Pattern and amount of bleeding (by Hijdra and intraventri...

GBM is the most common primary brain tumor, but intraventricular GBM is rare and only few cases have been reported in the literature. The authors report a case of 64-year-old man who had a remote history of previous periventricular intracerebral hemorrhage. Brain computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging showed an intraventricular lesion with inhomogeneous enhancement, infilt...

STUDY OBJECTIVE Patients receiving warfarin or clopidogrel are considered at increased risk for traumatic intracranial hemorrhage after blunt head trauma. The prevalence of immediate traumatic intracranial hemorrhage and the cumulative incidence of delayed traumatic intracranial hemorrhage in these patients, however, are unknown. The objective of this study is to address these gaps in knowledge...

Introduction. Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage is not a monophasic event, but condition characterized by hematoma expansion with mechanical damage to the surrounding tissue. The development of multiple complications associated high mortality rate 40%. In order make therapeutic decisions, it important know what factors predict outcome in these patients. aim this study was evaluate prediction...

In 34 consecutive infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit with birth weight of less than 1,500 g, 80 cranial real-time sonograms were obtained to determine the incidence of choroid plexus hemorrhage. Choroid plexus hemorrhage was diagnosed only in the absence of germinal matrix hemorrhage. Diagnostic criteria included choroid plexus nodularity, enlargement (greater than 12 mm in an...
