normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa spinal hematoma is a rare and usually severe neurological disorder that, without adequate treatment, often leads to death or permanent neurological deficit. epidural as well as subdural and subarachnoid hematomas have been investigated in some studies. a 66-year-old man referred to our hospital because of acute onset paraplegia and incontinency star...

germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage (ivh) is the most common variety of neonatal intracranial hemorrhage and is characteristics of the premature infant. the importance of the lesion relates not only to its high incidence but to their attendant complications (ic: hydrocephalus). brain sonography is the procedure of choice in diagnosis of germinal matrix- intraventricular hemorrhage and h...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Decisions on invasive arteriovenous malformation (AVM) treatment are currently based on natural-course risk estimates of AVM bleeding and assumptions on morbidity from cerebral hemorrhage in general. However, morbidity of AVM hemorrhage has rarely been reported. We sought to assess the morbidity of intracranial hemorrhage in patients with cerebral AVMs. METHODS From a p...

Congenital nephrotic syndrome (CNS) can be caused by neonatal infections and renal diseases that usually occur in early infancy. The most common CNS is the Finnish type, which is an autosomal recessively inherited disease characterized by intrauterine onset of massive proteinuria. In this study, we presented a preterm neonate confirmed as the first case of CNS in Iran by genetic study, who was ...

Spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a specific characteristic of aneurysmal rupture. SAH coexisting with arteriovenous malformations challenging to treat because the patient status at admission severe and therapeutic approach multidisciplinary: endovascular treatment, cerebral fluid drainage, decompressive craniectomy. We report clinical case successfully treated for cerebellar due rup...

Intraventricular hemorrhage during pregnancy is usually followed by a poor recovery. When caused by moyamoya disease, ischemic or hemorrhagic episodes may complicate the management of high intracranial pressure. A 26-year-old Caucasian woman presented with generalized seizures and a Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) of 3 during the 36th week of pregnancy. The fetus was delivered by caesarean section. Th...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The goal of this randomized, open-label phase II study was to investigate the effect of concomitant low-frequency head-motion therapy and intraventricular fibrinolysis in patients after surgical or endovascular treatment for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. METHODS Sixty patients experiencing subarachnoid hemorrhage were randomized into treatment with intraventricula...

 ABSTRACT Background: High resolution CT scan has made early diagnosis of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) easier. Posttraumatic intraventricular hemorrhage has been reported to a greater extent because of the CT scan. Methods: 904 patients were admitted in the NSICU from March 2001 to March 2002 with severe closed head injury, of those only 31 patients with intraventricular hemorrhage (GCS le...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This study was conducted to elucidate the association between clinical and angiographic characteristics and stroke types in adult Moyamoya disease that has been rarely evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed the clinical and radiologic data obtained from a retrospective adult Moyamoya disease cohort with acute strokes, which were classified into 7 categories: large...
