Intraventricular meningiomas require a cautious surgical preoperative planning in an attempt to avoid unwanted postoperative neurological déficits. Despite that better approaches exist, the posterior parietal transcortical approach intraventricular trigonal lesions, with its unavoidable damage white matter pathways, is still popular clinical practice, at times,like following case report, withou...

Patients with large amounts of intraventricular blood have a poor prognosis. The question is whether the quantity of ventricular blood or other factors related to the origin of the intraventricular bleeding cause poor outcome. The association between ventricular blood volume and outcome was analysed in patients with a primary intraventricular haemorrhage (PIVH) and in patients with an aneurysma...

intraventricular hemorrhage (ivh) is one of the major causes of the cerebral palsy and mental retardation. prevention and early management of these neurologic developmental problems will require determining the perinatal risk factors associated with this clinical entity. pneumothorax increase the risk of ivh, and cause of pneumothorax has an important effect in severity of ivh. this is a prospe...

protein s (ps) is an antithrombotic plasma protein that plays essential roles in limiting thrombus formation in the anticoagulant system. protein s deficiency is related with recurrent thrombosis. here, the authors report a case of a term neonate with severe ps deficiency in year 2015, imam hospital, tehran, iran, that had seizures and intraventricular hemorrhage (ivh) since the age of 3 days. ...

BACKGROUND Isolated periventricular leukomalacia, defined as periventricular leukomalacia unaccompanied by intraventricular hemorrhage, is reportedly increased in newborns with systemic hypotension and in infants who received treatment for systemic hypotension or a patent ductus arteriosus. METHODS This study sought to determine if the risk profile of one or more hypoechoic lesions unaccompan...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Germinal matrix hemorrhage-intraventricular hemorrhage is the most common neurological problem of premature infants. Despite this, mechanisms of brain injury from intraventricular hemorrhage are elusive. We hypothesized that germinal matrix hemorrhage-intraventricular hemorrhage, by induction of NAD(P)H oxidases, might cause oxidative/nitrosative stress contributing to br...
