conclusions because this incident may have occurred during the patient’s neonatal period, it may be a case of child abuse. in spite of the very limited number of cases in the literature, having a stepmother, a stepfather, or a babysitter, being the youngest child, or having family members who suffer from psychiatric disorders, (especially if these relatives are responsible for child care), livi...

intracranial hemorrhage is one of the major causes of neonatal mortality and morbidity. it is the most severe cranial problem in that period. those who survive would be affected by hydrocephalus, encephalomalacia, and finally brain atrophy. with accurate knowledge of risk factors, hemorrhage may be diagnosed earlier and the complications managed earlier. this study was performed in neonatal int...

absract intracranial invasion of cellular blue nevus (cbn) from the skin is extremely rare and such a condition with malignant transformation is even rarer. a case of meningeal melanoma with malignant transformation which was derived from an ota nevus is presented in this report. a21-year-old man with a neurocutaneous syndrome since childhood was referred with headache and mild left hemiparesia...

Intracranial hypertension and intracranial hypotension are on the opposite end of the intracranial pressure spectra. It is extremely uncommon for both to cause headache in the same patient within a span of several days. This report describes a young man with intracranial hypertension who developed a severe excruciating headache due to intracranial hypotension after a diagnostic lumbar puncture....

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Atypical clinical presentations of spontaneous intracranial hypotension include obtundation, memory deficits, dementia with frontotemporal features, parkinsonism, and ataxia. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical and imaging features of spontaneous intracranial hypotension with typical-versus-atypical presentations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Clinical records and...

BACKGROUND For patients suffering from primary brain injury, monitoring intracranial pressure alone is not enough to reflect the dynamic intracranial condition. In our previous study, a segment of the pressure-volume curve can be expressed by the parabolic regression model with single indicator "a". The aim of this study is to evaluate if the indicator "a" can reflect intracranial conditions. ...
