INTRODUCTION To the best of our knowledge, the association between air travel and intra-tumoral hemorrhage in pediatric populations has never been described previously. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a two-and-a-half-year-old Caucasian, Iranian boy with a hemorrhaging brain tumor. He had a posterior fossa midline mass and severe hydrocephalus. He had been shunted for hydrocephalus fo...

We report a case of extensive paranasal sinus and orbit rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) with intra-cranial invasion treated successfully with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. A 13-years-old male patient complained of painless and progressive proptosis of his left eye for two weeks. Ocular examination showed elevated intraocular pressure, limited extraocular movement, proptosis, and conjunctival ciliary in...

In the unconscious patient, there is a diagnostic void between the neurologic physical exam, and more invasive, costly and potentially harmful investigations. Transcranial color-coded sonography and two-dimensional transcranial Doppler imaging of the brain have the potential to be a middle ground to bridge this gap for certain diagnoses. With the increasing availability of point-of-care ultraso...

Slow uncertain reperfusion in Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) by intravenous thrombolysis has prompted search for alternative therapies. Pressure/flow disturbances from rapid compressions (20 – 24 Hz) of a clotted flow tube remote from thrombosis site have shown to assist reflow. Carotid Vibro-Compression (VC), a potentially risky maneuver, may therefore enhance AIS reperfusion but verification is ...

Evidence-based guidelines are presented for the management of haemophilia in the fetus and neonate. This includes information regarding the management of pregnancy and delivery as well as aspects of management during the early neonatal period. Specific issues regarding the mode of delivery and the risk of intra-cranial and extra-cranial haemorrhage are discussed.
