Background: Repeated intracranial hemorrhages caused by cardiac myxoma is very rare. It is essential for physicians to be aware of such uncommon clinical feature of myxoma. Case presentation: We report a-49-year-old female patient complained of repeated multiple intracranial hemorrhages, with no sign of cardiac dysfunction or cerebral infarction before admission. Cavernous angioma (CA) was misd...

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 ...

The ultrastructure of old neovascular preretinal membranes was examined in both eyes of a patient with proliferative diabetic retinopathy treated in one eye with photocoagulation. Membranes in both eyes consisted of a matrix rich in mature collagen surrounding viable new vessels and "ghost vessels." Viable vessels of different calibers frequently showed endothelial fenestrae bridged by diaphrag...

The distribution of fibronectin and laminin in diabetic human eyes was determined by indirect immunofluorescent techniques. The intense fluorescence suggests increased amounts of fibronectin and laminin in the diabetic internal limiting membrane (ILM). A double laminated pattern of fluorescence for both glycoproteins suggests structural abnormalities of the ILM of the posterior retina. Preretin...

We would like to report two cases of preretinal haemorrhage from two different aetiology courses of bleeding being treated with intravitreal ranibizumab and its outcome. Our first case was a 39-year-old man with a diagnosis of severe aplastic anaemia that presented with bilateral premacular haemorrhages in both eyes. His right eye vision was 6/45 and it was counting finger in the left eye. He w...

IMPORTANCE Retinal hemorrhages are an important sequela of fatal head trauma. The accurate pathologic diagnosis of retinal hemorrhages has critical implications for determination of the manner of death. OBSERVATIONS We describe an autolytic postmortem histologic artifact of eosinophilic Müller cell foot process swelling that mimics a nerve fiber layer hemorrhage. From April 24, 2012, through ...
