BACKGROUND Cavernomas of the brain are congenital lesions clinically divided into hereditary and a sporadic forms. Multiple lesions are usually observed in the familial form, whereas the sporadic variant generally shows a single cavernoma. In this case we describe the simultaneous bleeding of two lesions in a patient with a non-familial cavernomatosis. CASE DESCRIPTION A 46-ye...

OBJECTIVE Detection of focal non-hemorrhagic lesion (NHL) has become more efficient in diffuse axonal injury (DAI) patients using an MRI. The aims of this study are to find out the radiological distribution, progress of NHL and its clinical significance. METHODS Between September 2005 and October 2011, 32 individuals with NHLs on brain MRI were enrolled. NHLs were classified by brain location...

Acute abdominal pain is a common clinical entity with varied etiology. Hemorrhagic pseudocysts of the adrenal gland are rare lesions that might be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute abdominal pain. Herein, we report a case of young married female presenting with acute pain abdomen and fever, who was diagnosed to have hemorrhagic pseudocyst of the adrenal gland.

BACKGROUND Herpes uveitis has been previously reported to present with hyphema, but hemorrhagic hypopyon is rarely reported as a herpetic uveitis manifestation. We report a case of herpes simplex virus (HSV) presenting with hemorrhagic hypopyon, and speculate on the underlying pathophysiology with relation to an intravascular lymphoma which was subsequently diagnosed as a result. CASE PRESENT...

Hemorrhagic bullous angina (HBA) is described as the sudden onset of one or more bullous lesions in the oral cavity, not attributable to other vesiculobullous diseases, blood dyscrasias, or autoimmune and vascular diseases. These lesions occur almost exclusively in the oral cavity, particularly in the soft palate, and do not affect the masticatory mucosa. Here we present the case of a 57-year-o...

Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is a vasculitis of small-sized blood vessels, resulting from immunoglobulin-A-mediated inflammation. It is the most common acute systemic vasculitis in childhood and mainly affects skin, gastrointestinal tract, joints, and kidneys. The characteristic rash of HSP consists of palpable purpuric lesions 2 to 10 mm in diameter concentrating in the buttocks and lower ex...

PURPOSE To determine the frequency of intracranial lesions in infants treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), to evaluate trends in frequency during an 8-year period, and to determine which infants are at highest risk for intracranial injury. METHODS Daily sonograms were obtained in 386 infants during treatment with ECMO. Cranial CT scans were acquired after decannulation in ...

Objective: Application of Susceptibility Weighted Imaging (SWI) in diagnosis of Hemorrhagic Transformation (HT) of acute Massive Cerebral Infarction (MCI) and assessment of collateral circulation re-formation. Methods: 50 patients with MCI in internal carotid artery system were included. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans of T1WI (T1 Weighted Image), T2WI (T2 Weighted Image), DWI (Diffusion...
