A 31 year old woman in whom subarachnoid and intracerebral haemorrhage occurred during the second trimester of pregnancy was sustained in intensive care with a respirator for 10 weeks. Computed tomography of the brain showed bilateral intraventricular haemorrhages. Because of drug resistant hypotonic episodes at 31 weeks' gestation caesarean section was performed, and a boy was delivered. The w...

intraventricular tuberculoma (ivt) is extremely rare, ct and mri patterns have been only sparsely described.  herein, a case of intraventricular tuberculoma in a 40 year-old woman is reported.  at admission, the patient displayed malaise and was confused and deteriorated suddenly.  brain ct and mri findings were very similar to intraventricular meningioma.  the patient underwent surgery and tub...

OBJECTIVE Our recent studies have shown that blood components, including haemoglobin and iron, contribute to hydrocephalus development and brain injury after intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH). The current study investigated the role of lipocalin 2 (LCN2), a protein involved in iron handling, in the ventricular dilation and neuroinflammation caused by brain injury in a mouse model of IVH. DES...

Intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) is an extremely rare and poorly described complication of central nervous system Tuberculosis (CNS-TB). In this study, we report the case a 42-year-old man who presented with weakness left hemibody diffuse headache, altered consciousness associated fever. No notion contagion was noted. Brain computed tomography (CT) showed hematoma in occipital horns lateral v...

OBJECTIVE To analyse the occurrence and influence on outcome of secondary brain insults during neurointensive care of patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage. METHODS Sixty one seriously ill patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage with a poor neurological grade, acute hydrocephalus, or intraventricular and/or intracerebral haemorrhages, who were referred as emergency cases to the neurosurgical ...

Abstract Background Globally, 15 million neonates are born prematurely every year, over half in low income countries (LICs). Premature and birth weight have a higher risk of intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH). There minimal data regarding IVH sub-Saharan Africa. This study aimed to examine the incidence, severity timing modifiable factors for amongst low-birth-weight Uganda. Methods is prospect...
