Textilloma Mimicking an Intracranial Postoperative Abscess
Background: Achieving haemostasis during surgical procedures within the brain is of paramount importance. Bipolar cauterization is most effectively used to occlude identifiable vessels but it has minimal efficacy in controlling the oozing bleeding that characterises most neurological pathologies. In such cases chemical haemostatic agents are often preferable to bipolar cautery. Rarely these che...
متن کاملOtogenic intracranial abscess.
Middle ear is separated from middle cranial fossa by thin plate of bone known as tegmen tympani and from the sigmoid sinus by sinus plate. The chronic middle ear disease such as granulation or Choesteotoma can errode tegmen tympani or posteriorly the sinus plate and lead to intracranial complications. The most important to otolaryngologist is the brain abscess and sinus thrombophlebitis. Any pa...
متن کاملBrain Abscess Complicating an Intracranial Hemorrhage
Problem statement: A brain abscess presenting after an Intracranial Hemorrhage (ICH) is an extremely rare occurrence. Diagnosis in this setting is difficult, given the absence of key clinical features, such as neurologic deficit and headaches. Since a delay in the diagnosis of a brain abscess leads to poor outcomes, there should be a high index of suspicion for abscess in patients developing fe...
متن کاملMonitoring and interpretation of intracranial pressure.
Intracranial pressure (ICP) is derived from cerebral blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulatory dynamics and can be affected in the course of many diseases of the central nervous system. Monitoring of ICP requires an invasive transducer, although some attempts have been made to measure it non-invasively. Because of its dynamic nature, instant CSF pressure measurement using the height of a ...
متن کاملManagement of supratentorial intracranial abscess: a review of 200 cases.
TWO HUNDRED CASES OF INTRACRANIAL SUPRATENTORIAL ABSCESS HAVE BEEN REVIEWED: 100 spanned the years 1951 to 1957, and 100 the years 1962 to 1967. The mortality rate of 40% was the same in both series, chiefly owing to continuing inaccurate localization of the abscess and inadequate use of antibiotics. The hazards of lumbar puncture are real, and this procedure is contra-indicated when convulsion...
