Digital intravenous cerebral angiography was performed in 13 neonates. Injections were made either centrally into the right atrium or peripherally into a distal vein. Seven infants suffered from anoxia, one infant had clinical brain death, another had focal infarcts, and two had intracranial hemorrhage. One infant had an intracranial tumor and another had a neck tumor. Venous sinus thrombosis w...

1. Intracerebral hemorrhage can follow an asymptomatic interval after a trauma and may be due to local or systemic coagulation abnormalities, necrosis of blood vessels in areas of brain injury, transient cerebral dysautoregulation, reduction of intracranial pressure either medically or surgically, or cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. 2. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis may be easily overlooked ...

Intracranial complications of chronic otitis media have been on the decline with advent of antibiotics. Septic thrombosis of the sigmoid sinus is rarer compared to commoner complications such as otogenic brain abscesses and meningitis. This patient presented with recurrent infection after left mastoidectomy secondary to cholesteatoma and a contralateral internal jugular vein thrombosis with par...

Acute intracranial dural sinus thrombosis may have severe morbidity or fatal complications without appropriate treatment. Direct dural sinus venography can be performed safely with a soft Tracker catheter to document the fresh thrombus as an adjunct to CT or MR. We are reporting our experience with successful direct urokinase thrombolytic therapy in three cases of superior sagittal sinus and tw...

An intracranial aneurysm is an abnormal protrude in the arteries’ wall, which primary cause of hemorrhagic arachnoid. It third cerebrovascular disease besides cerebral thrombosis and hypertensive hemorrhage. There are many methods treating aneurysms. Different have different outcomes their own advantages drawbacks. This review provides comprehensive information on aneurysms focuses comparison c...

creased dural venous sinus pressure or a defect in the arachnoid villi. The possibility of dural venous sinus thrombosis was ruled out in this case by MR examination that showed the venous sinuses to be widely patent. As suggested by the MR findings in this patient, low hemoglobin levels may result in compensatory changes in cerebral blood volume, leading to increased intracranial pressure. Thi...
