A total of 338 infants of gestational age 34 weeks or less were scanned regularly with real time ultrasound. Definite intraventricular haemorrhage was present in 126 (37%) infants, of whom 17 (13.5%) showed extension in the size of the initial haemorrhage, mostly into the cerebral parenchyma. These 17 infants were carefully matched with 17 others who had an initial haemorrhage of the same size ...

BACKGROUND Heat stress results in multiorgan failure and CNS injury. There a few case reports in the literature on the neurological consequences of heat stress. CASE PRESENTATION We describe a patient with heat stress presenting with encephalopathy and bilateral cerebral, cerebellar, and thalamic lesions and intraventricular hemorrhage on MRI. CONCLUSION Heat stress should be in the differe...

Intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) is defined as the eruption of blood in the cerebroventricular system and occurs mostly secondary to intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) in adults. Hydrocephalus is a severe complication of IVH that can serve as an independent predictor of increased mortality. In this mini-review, we focus on the mechanisms of hydrocephalus after adult IVH, including blood-clot blo...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to differentiate between cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) and hypertension (HTN) based on hemorrhage pattern interpretation. METHODS From June 1994 to Oct., 2000, 83 patients admitted to our service with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) were investigated retrospectively; 41 patients with histologically proven diagnosis of cerebral amyloid angiograp...

See related article, pages 3009–3016. Stroke unit care, intravenous thrombolysis, and endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke have changed stroke medicine dramatically. In the past decades, the chances of surviving acute ischemic stroke without severe handicap have increased substantially for the majority of stroke patients. However, the outlook for patients with intracerebral hemorrhag...

background interventricular hemorrhage (ivh) and broncho pulmonary dysplasia(bpd) commonly occur in premature infants and they associate with platelet dysfunction. the aim of this study was to investigate the association of mpv and occurrence of ivh and bpd. materials and methods in this cross sectional study, 3 groups including ivh, bpd and control were compared. all participants were preterm ...

A 64-year-old woman with a history of ovarian carcinoma and cerebrovascular accident presented with the acute onset of a severe throbbing headache with associated nausea and vomiting. Th e patient described intermittent headaches over the preceding month with associated vision changes during these episodes. She was found to have intraventricular hemorrhage on an initial head computed tomography...
