Multiple Hemorrhages in General Paresis

Changing Trends in General Paresis

THERE ix much recent medical literature on the subject of syphilis as a 'dying disease.' King (1958), in deploring the conmmonly held view that venereology is in decline as a specialty, suggests that the proportion of late syphilis may well have increased to-day since treatment has become easier to administer, and less systemuatic therapy is given in the early stages.

Multiple Spontaneous Simultaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhages

Simultaneous occurrence of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in different arterial territories is an uncommon event. We report on two cases of multiple spontaneous simultaneous ICH for which we could find no specific cause. A 73-year-old man, with no related medical history, was admitted to the hospital with simultaneous bithalamic ICH, and subsequently died of recurrent pneumonia. Second patient ...

Simultaneous Multiple Intracerebral Hemorrhages (SMICH).

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Simultaneous multiple intracerebral hemorrhages (SMICHs) are uncommon. Few single-center studies have analyzed characteristics and outcome of SMICH. We analyzed clinical characteristics and outcome of SMICH patients from 2 comprehensive stroke centers. METHODS Baseline imaging from consecutive intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients (n=1552) from Helsinki ICH study and ...

He was hypertensive for several days, but angiography revealed no evidence of vascular malformation or vasculitis. The multifocality of the hematomas and lack of underlying disease suggest that the hemorrhages resulted from cocaine-i...
