Blunt traumatic injury and acute dissection of thoracic aorta is increasing in incidence in seriously multi-trauma patients, remaining highly lethal. Early identification and repair is the key to a successful outcome. We report an unusual case of a 62-year-old man involved in a motor vehicle accident after subarachnoid hemorrhage due to an intracranial artery aneurysm rupture. The post-traumati...

Subarachnoid hemorrhage is typically due to an aneurysmal rupture. Cerebral venous thrombosis a rare cause, especially if the clinical presentation atypical. We report patient with unusual acute headaches, entirely normal physical examination. His cerebral MRI, and angio-MRI documented associated subarachnoid hemorrhage. The outcome was favorable anticoagulant treatment.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE True aneurysms of the extracranial vertebral artery are rare. The usual pathogenesis of aneurysms in this location is either penetrating or blunt trauma with resultant pseudoaneurysm formation. We report a postpartum patient with a presumed traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the extracranial vertebral artery presenting with subarachnoid hemorrhage. CASE DESCRIPTION A 41-year-o...

INTRODUCTION Cardiac manifestations of intracranial subarachnoid hemorrhage patients include mild electrocardiogram variability, reversible left ventricular dysfunction (Takotsubo), non-ST elevation myocardial infarction, ST-elevation myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest, but their clinical relevance is unclear. The aim of the present study was to categorize the relative frequency of differ...

introduction: subarachnoid hemorrhage is one of the cerebral strokes, which is diagnosed from other types by risk factors and type of treatment. published data have shown variations between age, gender and mortality rate in different area. this study aimed to determine demographic, environmental and clinical characteristics of subarachnoid hemorrhage patients who admitted at farabi hospital dur...

Severe headache during pregnancy can lead to a broad spectrum of differential diagnoses, including pre-eclampsia, migraine, post dural spinal headaches, and intracranial pathology. Herein is described a case of an obstetric patient who was admitted for a repeat Cesarean section. After receiving spinal anesthesia, she developed a sudden, severe headache and subsequently experienced a seizure two...

OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical evolution of perimesencephalic subarachnoid hemorrhage and non-perimesencephalic subarachnoid hemorrhage. METHODS The study was conducted retrospectively in a tertiary hospital center in the north region of Portugal. Included patients had no identifiable cause for subarachnoid hemorrhage. Several epidemiologic, clinical and imaging aspects were statistically ...

subarachnoid hemorrhage (sah) resulting from a ruptured intracranial aneurysm can induce cerebral vasospasm with subsequent reduction in cerebral blood flow (cbf). the present study examines the pathological alterations in the wall of human cerebral arteries at autopsy, especially with regard to intimal pathology, following aneurysmal sah. arterial segments from the circle of willis were fixed ...
