Corticosteroid therapy of experimental hydrocephalus after intraventricular-subarachnoid haemorrhage.
Symptomatic hydrocephalus after subarachnoid haemorrhage seems to result both from mechanical obstruction of arachnoid villi and basilar cisterns and from an inflammatory cellular reaction in the villi. Subarachnoid haemorrhage was induced in rabbits using whole blood injected through an implanted intraventricular needle. Control rabbits receiving intraventricular methyl prednisolone acetate bu...
متن کاملMechanisms of hydrocephalus after intraventricular haemorrhage in adults
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...
متن کاملSecondary parkinsonism induced by hydrocephalus after subarachnoid and intraventricular hemorrhage
Secondary parkinsonism induced by hydrocephalus after subarachnoid and intraventricular hemorrhage Hydrocephalus can induce secondary parkinsonism (Shahar et al., 1988; Aggarwal et al., 1997; Racette et al., 2004). Physical factors such as increased ventricular pressure near the upper midbrain and basal ganglia are thought to cause mechanical disruption of dopaminergic systems (i.e., the nigros...
متن کاملChronic Hydrocephalus after Experimental Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Chronic communicating hydrocephalus is a significant health problem affecting up to 20% of survivors of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The development of new treatment strategies is hampered by the lack of well characterized disease models. This study investigated the incidence of chronic hydrocephalus by evaluating the temporal profile of intracranial pressure (ICP) elevation after...
متن کاملEndoscopic management of hypertensive intraventricular haemorrhage with obstructive hydrocephalus
BACKGROUND Intracranial haemorrhage accounts for 30-60 % of all stroke admissions into a hospital, with hypertension being the main risk factor. Presence of intraventricular haematoma is considered a poor prognostic factor due to the resultant obstruction to CSF and the mass effect following the presence of blood resulting in raised intracranial pressure and hydrocephalus. We report the results...
