Post-Traumatic Intracranial Space-Occupying Lesions

Post-traumatic intracranial space-occupying lesions.

Fiberoptic bronchoscopy in the presence of space-occupying intracranial lesions.

The performance of flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FFB) has anecdotally been considered to carry a high risk of neurologic complications in patients with raised intracranial pressure (ICP). There is no evidence in the literature to support this concern. We evaluated this risk by reviewing hospital records of 132 patients who underwent FFB and computer tomography of the central nervous system ...

Intracranial space occupying lesions. Review of 2332 cases.

An analysis of 386 cases of Intracranial Space Occupying Lesions (SOL) including neoplastic and inflammatory masses diagnosed and treated at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Karachi over a period of 2 years is presented. C.T. Scan and MRI were used for the diagnosis of midline, multiple and very small lesions. S.O.L. were more common in males in the age group 11-20 years. Gliomas comprised 3...

The effect of fluroxene on intracranial pressure in patients with intracranial space-occupying lesions.

The intxacranial pressure was studied in nine patients with space-occupying lesions before and after addition of 4% fluroxene to a nitrous oxide-oxygen mixture at normocapnia and hypocapnia. At normocapnia (Paooa 38 mm Hg) fluroxene produced a 16 mm Hg (range 1-59 mm Hg) increase in intracranial pressure leading to a decrease in cerebral perfusion pressure, in three cases to critically low valu...

Space-Occupying Lesions in the Liver

The significant prevalence of mass lesions in the liver among the general population has prompted the emphasis on understanding each of the condition’s clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment. Another reason to fully understand the characteristics of the different space-occupying lesions in the liver is the fact that the treatment varies depending on the type of lesion found in the live...
