In recent years, neonatal cranial sonography has been extensively used to diagnose intracranial hemorrhages, congenital anomalies, and intracranial masses despite such limiting factors as the size of the anterior fontanelle and lack of contrast enhancement similar to cranial CT [1] .

متن کاملParadoxical Transtentorial Herniation Caused by Lumbar Puncture after Decompressive Craniectomy
Although decompressive craniectomy is an effective treatment for various situations of increased intracranial pressure, it may be accompanied by several complications. Paradoxical herniation is known as a rare complication of lumbar puncture in patients with decompressive craniectomy. A 38-year-old man underwent decompressive craniectomy for severe brain swelling. He remained neurologically sta...
