germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage (ivh) is the most common variety of neonatal intracranial hemorrhage and is characteristics of the premature infant. the importance of the lesion relates not only to its high incidence but to their attendant complications (ic: hydrocephalus). brain sonography is the procedure of choice in diagnosis of germinal matrix- intraventricular hemorrhage and h...

conclusions intraventricular hemorrhage followed by comatose state is a rare finding of the castor bean seed ingestion. the patient’s condition improved dramatically after ffp transfusion. introduction castor bean seed is used to control some medical conditions including diabetes mellitus due to popular belief in its effectiveness. however it may cause severe poisoning in humans and animals and...

we report a rare genetic disorder case of neuroacanthocytosis with clinical profile (oro-lingual-facial abnormal involuntary movements, neuropathy) and typical magnetic resonance findings (cerebral atrophy, bilateral caudate nuclei atrophy with dilated anterior horns of the lateral ventricles), positive family history in his brother and acanthocytosis in peripheral blood smear.

CSF pulsation suggests variation in the size of the cerebral ventricles during the cardiac cycle. The arterial blood flow and venous outflow are two major components that contribute to the variation. High-resolution MR imaging with cardiac gating provides sharp delineation of the cerebral ventricles with clear boundaries. Subtle changes in the size of the ventricles during the cardiac cycle are...
