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...

conclusion coil embolization showed successful outcomes in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms with a low complication rate. results immediately after the procedure, the total occlusion was seen in 76 (86.4%), subtotal occlusion in six (6.8%), and partial occlusion in six patients (6.8%). there was no significant relationship between the aneurysm size, aneurysm neck size, and location of th...

in recent years, the usefulness of intracranial pressure (icp) monitoring has been questioned in several reports for traumatic brain injury (tbi) management. therefore the needs of multidisciplinary groups of discussion of neurosurgeons and neurointensivists to update practical applications of icp in severe adult tbi has been advocated in many parts of the world. a consensus conference was held...

introduction: myelograghy is a process of instilling contrast medium to the subarachnoid space for evaluating the spinal column by radiography. there are various contrast solutions for different radiographic studies but not all of them are suitable for spinal column evaluation. conclusions: our subject recovered completely without any sequelae after receiving appropriate treatment in a multidis...

conclusions although propofol remains a standard agent for such types of surgeries, lidocaine proved equally effective and coupled with its low cost, minimal side effects and omission of other hypnotic agents was a plausible induction agent and a maintenance drug in the selected cases. case presentation lidocaine was applied as the sole anaesthetic for induction and maintenance during aneurysm ...

background: central nervous system malformations are the second most common congenital malformations after congenital heart diseases. these malformations are associated with many instances of morbidity and mortality which underline the importance of prevention and their early diagnosis. objective: the objective of this study is the diagnosis of neural tube defect (ntds) in the first trimester a...

Background and Aim: This study aimed at analyzing the demographic characteristics of the patients with non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, their angiographic results and the correlation between computed tomography (CT) scan and angiography findings. Methods and Materials/Patients: In a descriptive study, we retrospectively reviewed the records of the patients with non-traumatic intracranial...

background: management of intracranial aneurysms has made debates about the best treatment modality in recent years. the aim of this study was to compare the interventional outcomes between two groups of patients, one treated with endovascular coiling and the other treated with surgical clipping. methods: this prospective study included 48 patients with intracranial aneurysms who underwent endo...

abstract cerebral  aneurysms  are  the  major  cause  of  subarachnoid  hemorrhage.  common  ascribed  etiologies  are hemodynamic  factors  such  as  atherosclerosis,   hypertension,  infection,  trauma,  polycyctic   kidney  disease, connective tissue disorders like ehlers-danlos disease, marfan syndrome, and familial predisposition. however, its association with ankylosing spondylitis (as) i...

caring for patients with severe head injury and increased intracranial pressure is one of the important activities of nurses. nurses with specialized information and new, faster decisions can be life-saving. the most important thing is that nurses should be aware of the activities and the factors that can increase intracranial pressure, to recognize. this triangle of risk factors for increased ...
