this study briefly reviews the heart abnormalities in diverse intracranial pathologies, including strokes, spontaneous and traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracranial hemorrhage, and presents the results of a one-year prospective study of heart abnormalities in patients with moderate to severe head injuries and subarachnoid hemorrhage. different abnormalities such as: qt -interval, t -wa...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to evaluate the associations between 30-day mortality and various radiological and clinical factors in patients with traumatic acute subdural hematoma (SDH). During the 11-year study period, young patients who underwent surgery for SDH were followed for 30 days. Patients who died due to other medical comorbidities or other organ problems were not included ...

Post-lumbar puncture headache is the most common complication of lumbar puncture. This condition is thought to be the result of persistent cerebrospinal fluid leakage at the puncture site, leading to low cerebrospinal fluid pressure and traction on the meninges and intracranial veins. Associated symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, auditory and vestibular symptoms. Meningeal irritation signs ...

BACKGROUND Cerebral vasospasm is a preventable cause of death and disability in patients who experience aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence of cerebral vasospasm following traumatic SAH and its relationship with different brain injuries and severity of trauma. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2006 to Marc...

Introduction Advances in brain imaging have dramatically changed our understanding of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). In the pre-CT era, many small ICHs were misclassified as ischemic strokes and patients with massive ICH or subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) were often difficult to correctly classify. This chapter reviews the epidemiology of non-traumatic ICH in light of modern neuroimaging and inc...

The clinical significance of traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (TSAH) was studied in 20 head-injured patients. They were classified into mild (9) and severe (11) groups by their initial Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores. TSAH detected by computed tomography was localized in the Sylvian fissure in four of the nine mild group patients, but was also found in other basal subarachnoid cisterns in the ...
