Background & Importance: Acute epidural hematoma is a very rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunt insertion. The insertion of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt can cause sudden decompression of the brain, subsequent to which epidural hematoma occurs due to CSF drainage. To our knowledge, there are only a few cases of acute epidural hematoma in the literature which required acute e...

Intracranial hematoma rarely presents between two dural layers of pachimeninges. Here, we present a case of an interdural hematoma with similar appearance to an epidural hematoma. A 51-year-old man presented with a left temporal contusion following a motor vehicle accident. After craniotomy and contusion removal, the post-operative CT scan showed a parietal intracranial hematoma...

Ultrasound guidance for pain interventions is becoming increasing recognized as a useful imaging tool. One of the common interventions where it is gaining wider acceptance is during the performance of a stellate ganglion block. The following is a unique report where intravascular and neuronal injury occurred during the performance of an ultrasound guided stellate ganglion block followed by dysp...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Hemostasis the radial artery after transradial coronary procedure can be achieved either manually by means a gauze or mechanically through device compression band, and occlusion (RAO) is one its common complications. Purpose The study sought to compare occurrence RAO between two hemostasis methods being used determine a...

chronic subdural hematoma (csdh) is a curable entity frequently encountered by neurosurgeons. the present study was conducted to explore expert opinion and common practice in iran. besides, a review of randomized clinical trials in literature was performed. a questionnaire including six questions discussing major aspects of practice on csdh, with multiple choices was designed. a pilot study was...

Obturator neuropathy is a difficult clinical problem to evaluate. One possible cause of pain is due to fascial entrapment of the nerve. Symptoms include medial thigh or groin pain, weakness with leg adduction, and sensory loss in the medial thigh of the affected side. Radiographic imaging provides limited diagnostic help. MRI may detect atrophy in the adductors of the leg. However, it is unable...

spinal epidural haemorrhage may present as back pain associated with radicular symptoms and can be a catastrophic clinical scenario with progression to paraplegia or even sudden death. being a rare entity, it needs a high index ofclinical suspicion to diagnose it. fractures have been documented as a cause of hematorrachis but such hematomas only extend to one or two vertebral segments. large ep...

Introduction: Traumatic brain injury is considered as the major cause of mortality and hospitalization of about ten million people across the globe. Most of these patients are young and active people suffering disabilities. Tranexamic acid therapy is commonly used to reduce blood loss and need for blood transfusions in surgical cases. This study aimed at investigating the effect of tr...

BackgroundImplantation of transvenous permanent pacemakers (PPM) has become standard therapy for sinus node dysfunction and atrioventricular conduction abnormalities. It plays an important role in improving quality of life and preventing death in this group of patients. MethodsThis study was conducted on 477 patients during their hospitalization and eight weeks after their discharge. ResultsCom...
