Internal Hydrocephalus

Alive with almost no Brain: Severe Post-Hemorrhagic Internal Hydrocephalus.

OBJECTIVES Severe post-hemorrhaghic internal hydrocephalus with almost complete atrophy of the cerebral parenchyma, as in the following case, is rare. CASE REPORT A 19yo Caucasian female with a history of premature birth, perinatal intraventricular bleeding, developmental delay, mental retardation, and epilepsy, was admitted for recurrent generalized tonic-clonic seizures.

Retinal dysplasia and internal hydrocephalus in a shorthorn calf.

hydrocephalus

hydrocephalus is a common finding in patient with extensive intracranial pathology. this finding may have obvious cause or even happened by a subtle abnormality. some of the normal looking ventricles are really hydrocephalus when compare with previous images and some are due to nph. communicating and non-communicating hydrocephalus should be separated to divided pathologic causes. this session ...

Clinical-electroencephalographic analysis of brain bioelectrical activity in children with myelomeningocele and internal hydrocephalus.

PURPOSE The aim of the current study was the clinical and electroencephalographic (EEG) analysis of the brain bioelectrical activity in patients with myelomeningocele and internal hydrocephalus. MATERIAL AND METHODS The present study included 86 children (44 boys and 42 girls) with myelomeningocele. The children were aged 1-17 years (mean 7 +/- 4.4 years). Thoracic myelomeningocele was identi...

Effect of sevoflurane on cerebral perfusion pressure in patients with internal hydrocephalus.

BACKGROUND Due to its confirmed neuroprotective properties, sevoflurane is one of a few anaesthetics used for neuroanaesthesia. Its effects on the cerebral and systemic circulations may be of particular importance in patientswith intracranial pathology. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of sevoflurane at concentrations lower than 1 MAC on cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) in patients with...
