متن کاملFlurbiprofen and hypertension but not hydroxyethyl starch are associated with post-craniotomy intracranial haematoma requiring surgery.

We examined whether post-craniotomy intracranial haematoma requiring surgery is associated with the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs flurbiprofen, hypertension, or hydroxyethyl starch (HES).

HSV meningitis tends to be benign, but HSF encephalitis can have a high morbidity and mortality despite treatment. We present a case of HSV meningitis leading to hydrocephalus without evidence of encephalitis. The patient had persistent hydrocephalus requiring long term CSF diversion despi...
متن کاملA case requiring tracheal stenting due to superior vena cava syndrome developing after craniotomy
We report a patient who developed sustained hypotension during craniotomy; further, owing to a mediastinal mass, critical tracheal stenosis and brain edema were observed after craniotomy, despite the absence of preoperative symptomatic superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome. A 62-year-old man underwent removal of a suspected metastatic brain tumor. The main brain tumor was speculated to be a metasta...
متن کاملTumefactive multiple sclerosis requiring emergency craniotomy: case report and literature review.

Tumor-like presentation of MS (or "tumefactive"/"pseudotumoral" presentation) has been described before with a certain frequency; it consists of a large single plaque (>2cm) with presence of edema and mass effect and it is hard ...
