although measurement of intracranial pressure by noninvasive methods has been suggested, but mainly invasive methods are used for this purpose-increase in episcleral venous pressure can be expected to result in a linear increase in intraocular pressure. congested oculat veins with capillary leakage and hemorrhage are seen when the icp is increased, thus theoretically measurement of intraocular ...

conclusions although, the exact cause of pseudotumor cerebri in most individuals is unknown, but we should remind tuberculosis specially in endemic area for this infection. case presentation here, we presented a 14-year-old girl who referred to our hospital for fever, headache, vomiting and diplopia which has not respond to antibiotic therapy for acute meningitis. finally, with more evaluations...

introduction measuring magnetic induction phase shift (mips) changes as a function of cerebral hemorrhage volume has the potential for being a simple method for primary and non-contact detection of the occurrence and progress of cerebral hemorrhage. our previous mips study showed that the intracranial pressure (icp) was used as a contrast index and found the primary correlation between mips and...

in recent years, the usefulness of intracranial pressure (icp) monitoring has been questioned in several reports for traumatic brain injury (tbi) management. therefore the needs of multidisciplinary groups of discussion of neurosurgeons and neurointensivists to update practical applications of icp in severe adult tbi has been advocated in many parts of the world. a consensus conference was held...

introduction: myelograghy is a process of instilling contrast medium to the subarachnoid space for evaluating the spinal column by radiography. there are various contrast solutions for different radiographic studies but not all of them are suitable for spinal column evaluation. conclusions: our subject recovered completely without any sequelae after receiving appropriate treatment in a multidis...

caring for patients with severe head injury and increased intracranial pressure is one of the important activities of nurses. nurses with specialized information and new, faster decisions can be life-saving. the most important thing is that nurses should be aware of the activities and the factors that can increase intracranial pressure, to recognize. this triangle of risk factors for increased ...

abstract meningeal melanocytoma is a rare tumor of nervous system, which originates from leptomeningeal melanocytes. the locations of melanocytoma in the nervous system are most frequently in the posterior fossa or along the spinal cord, and usually appear as an extra-axial mass. the manifestations of tumor are most often due to its compressing effect on adjacent nervous structures that causes ...

a 34 day-old girl infant was admitted for poor feeding and cholestasis. she had a bulging fontanelle, with no evidence of intracranial infection or hemorrhage. investigations demonstrated that she had galactosemia. computed tomographic scans demonstrated the presence of diffuse cerebral edema. after treatment the edema resolved.

introduction: timely diagnosis and treatment of post traumatic, elevated intracranial pressure (eicp), could reduce morbidity and mortality, as well as improve patients’ outcome. this study is trying to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of sonographic optic nerve sheath diameter (onsd) in detection of eicp. methods: sonographic onsd of patients with head trauma or cerebrovascular accident suspic...

Background and Importance: Arachnoid cysts are benign nontumoral lesions that are usually found incidentally in brain imaging. Suprasellar Arachnoid Cysts (SSACs) are rare. They can cause hydrocephalus and increased intracranial pressure, lower cranial nerve impairment and endocrine disorder. Sometimes arachnoid cysts become complicated by subdural hematoma/hygroma.  Case Presentation: We...
