intraventricularhemorrhage (ivh) is one of thecommon morbidities among preterm neonates. in thepresentstudy, we set out to evaluate the efficacy of two prophylactic modalities (ibuprofen and indomethacin prophylaxis) for prevention of ivh in our local setting. a prospective study was carried out in akbar-abadi hospital, tehran-iran (2013-2014). ninety-six preterm neonates who cared in closed in...

The rupture of hemangioblastoma with a hemorrhage, especially a ventricular system hemorrhage caused by the rupture of a hemangioblastoma located in the posterior part of the fourth ventricle, is very rare. This study reports a case of this rare disease. The patient was a 38-year-old male with onset after a sudden headache. Computed tomography examination after onset revealed a hemorrhage in th...

BACKGROUND/AIM The aim of this paper is to provide the long-term surgical outcome of patients with intracranial intraventricular tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-five patients operated on for intraventricular tumors between June 1999 and June 2014 are reviewed. Data from before, during, and after surgery were obtained from the patients' files and patients were followed regularly after sur...

Intracranial silicone oil is a rare complication of intraocular endotamponade with silicone oil. We describe a case of intraventricular silicone oil fortuitously observed 38 months after an intraocular tamponade for a complicated retinal detachment in an 82 year-old woman admitted in the Department of Neurology for a stroke. We confirm the migration of silicone oil along the optic nerve. We dis...

Intracranial solitary fibrous tumors are rare, and intraventricular fibrous tumors are even more unusual. We report a case of solitary fibrous tumor in the region of trigone and body of the left lateral ventricle and discuss the clinical presentation, CT characteristics, and histopathologic features with 1-year follow-up. We speculate that the tumor arose from the perivascular connective tissue...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) using upper and lower somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) is an established technique used to predict and prevent neurologic injury during intracranial tumor resections. Endoscopic port surgery (EPS) is a minimally-invasive approach to deep intraparenchymal and intraventricular brain tumors. The authors intended to e...

GBM is the most common primary brain tumor, but intraventricular GBM is rare and only few cases have been reported in the literature. The authors report a case of 64-year-old man who had a remote history of previous periventricular intracerebral hemorrhage. Brain computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging showed an intraventricular lesion with inhomogeneous enhancement, infilt...

objective: preterm infants are prone to intraventricular hemorrhage. they may suffer from significant morbidity and mortality particularly in those with high-grade hemorrhage. our objective was to determine the incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage in premature infants transported to a tertiary center compared with those delivered at the level iii facility.  methods: we evaluated all prematu...

A 45 year old male presented with chronic headache for the last six months, with recent aggravation. The headache was holocranial in nature and not associated with vomiting, aura or any other neurological complaints. On examination, he had no neurological deficit. Contrast enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), was performed which revealed features suggestive of intraventricular neurocytoma...

A 20-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with a 1-year history of headache. The patient's systemic-neurological examination and laboratory findings were normal. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging were performed. Imaging findings showed calcified intraventricular mass and subependymal and gyral nodular lesions. There was a slight increase in ventricular volume. Surgi...
