The CNS involvement of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is more commonly manifest as meningeal involvement. Rarely it may present as intravascular tumor aggregates called granulocytic sarcoma which presents as intracranial hemorrhage. We are presenting a case of intracranial, intra-parenchymal granulocytic sarcoma (other names: chloroma, extramedullary myeloblastoma), presenting as acute hemiplegia...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Serial changes of anti-platelet-aggregating activity in the endothelial cells after experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage were studied in 30 feline two-hemorrhage models. METHODS One hour or 2, 4, 7, or 14 days after mimic subarachnoid hemorrhage, ADP (40 mg/kg) was infused into the basilar artery via the right vertebral artery to activate circulating platelets. Immediat...

numerous etiologies are responsible for cases of stroke in young adults. this study reviews the causes of two types of stroke (ischemic and intracerebral hemorrhage) in young adults aged 15 to 40years, admitted to our center (a tertiary care center) from 1997 to 2002. the purpose of this study is to determine the relative frequency of causes of stroke in young adults and compare this with publi...

introduction measuring magnetic induction phase shift (mips) changes as a function of cerebral hemorrhage volume has the potential for being a simple method for primary and non-contact detection of the occurrence and progress of cerebral hemorrhage. our previous mips study showed that the intracranial pressure (icp) was used as a contrast index and found the primary correlation between mips and...

subarachnoid hemorrhage (sah) resulting from a ruptured intracranial aneurysm can induce cerebral vasospasm with subsequent reduction in cerebral blood flow (cbf). the present study examines the pathological alterations in the wall of human cerebral arteries at autopsy, especially with regard to intimal pathology, following aneurysmal sah. arterial segments from the circle of willis were fixed ...

In this study, we aimed to explore the curative effect and safety of neural stem cell intrathecal transplantation for the treatment of cerebral hemorrhage. We transplanted 4.0 x 10(8) neural stem cells per procedure into the subarachnoid space by lumbar puncture 7 days after cerebral hemorrhage, twice a week, a total of 4 times. NIHSS scores and brain CT scans were conducted to assess neural fu...

A male in his late teens presented with sudden onset left-sided hemiparesis and right-sided facial weakness. The patient had a history of persistent pulsatile headache for 1 year the blurring vision. He also diaphoresis palpitations. was diagnosed as case hypertension back. On examination, Right-sided upper motor neuron type palsy present, power 0/5 left lower limbs; BP 220/120 mm Hg controlled...
