Spontaneous tonsillar hemorrhage from infectious causes is extremely rare and post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage, although also relatively rare, is an unavoidable complication of the procedure. Hemorrhage in association with tonsillitis or tonsillectomy is potentially dangerous and can be life threatening. We report here the presentation and management of a 42-yr-old man with severe spontaneous hemo...

A 62-year-old man was admitted with a hypertensive emergency, anisocoria and decreased level of consciousness. The CT scan showed a hemorrhage in the brainstem and an intraocular hemorrhage (Figure), consistent with Terson’s syndrome, a condition that is classically characterized as a vitreous hemorrhage secondary to a subarachnoid hemorrhage. However, it can also be considered as a traumatic h...

Introduction: We demonstrate a novel perfused cadaver model with realistic tissue feel, true anatomy, and replicating key local physiologic parameters of acute life-threatening hemorrhage. Validation of fidelity is accomplished through measurement of hemodynamics and video confirmation of hemorrhage control. Methods: A pulsatile pump was attached to the ascending and descending aorta of a fresh...

The rupture of hemangioblastoma with a hemorrhage, especially a ventricular system hemorrhage caused by the rupture of a hemangioblastoma located in the posterior part of the fourth ventricle, is very rare. This study reports a case of this rare disease. The patient was a 38-year-old male with onset after a sudden headache. Computed tomography examination after onset revealed a hemorrhage in th...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE High-resolution, multicontrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has developed into an effective tool for the identification of carotid atherosclerotic plaque components, such as necrotic core, fibrous matrix, and hemorrhage/thrombus. Factors that may lead to plaque instability are lipid content, thin fibrous cap, and intraplaque hemorrhage. Determining the age of intrapla...

IMPORTANCE Vaccinations have been proposed as a cause of retinal hemorrhage in children, primarily as part of a defense strategy in high-stakes abusive head trauma cases. If vaccination injections cause retinal hemorrhage, this consideration would affect the evaluation of children for suspected child abuse. OBJECTIVES To describe the prevalence and causes of retinal hemorrhage among infants a...
