Background: We introduce a new catheter-based minimally invasive approach via frontal tuber for removing hypertensive intraventricular hemorrhage(IVH), and further compare its treatment efficacy with conventional external ventricular drainage (EVD). Methods: This study is prospective and randomized. Sixty cases of secondary intraventricular cast hemorrhage patients were randomly divided into tw...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intraventricular extension of hemorrhage is a predictor of poor outcome in intracerebral hemorrhage, and iron overload contributes to brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage. The current study investigated the role of iron in ventricular dilatation and neuronal death in a rat model of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). METHODS There were 2 parts in this study. First...

In forensic practice intracranial hemorrhages are usually seen in cases of trauma but non traumatic, acute bilateral intraventricular hemorrhage that is in the young pregnant female is very rare and such cases come across by a forensic pathologist is still rarer. Here we present one such case of sudden natural death of fatal isolated pan intraventricular hemorrhage. The deceased was primigravid...

We report the finding of multiple cerebral aneurysms in a pair of identical twins. One twin had subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracerebral hematoma; her sister had subarachnoid hemorrhage and intraventricular bleeding. Angiography in both cases showed multiple cerebral aneurysms. It is appropriate to recommend a cerebral angiographic examination of an asymptomatic twin after the other twin has s...

Background: Neonatal sepsis is a generalized bacterial infection which occurs in the first month of life. Intraventricular hemorrhage is the most common intracerebral disorder which occurs in premature neonates. Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) is considered as a marker of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in some studies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of MPV on IVH and sepsis in n...

Background: Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in preterm neonates is a serious problem in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) worldwide. IVH is reported in approximately 60-70% of very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) neonates. The present study aimed to assess the association of IVH with neonatal characteristics and serum markers, such as serum Interleukin-6 (IL-6) level, in preterm neonates in an aca...

 Background and Importance: Coronavirus 19 is caused by the SARS-COV-2 virus. The primary target of the virus is the respiratory system, but it can also affect other systems of the body, such as the cardiovascular system and the Central Nervous System )CNS).  Case Presentation: In this study, we introduce an 83-year-old man who referred due to reduced level of consciousness and hemiparesis ...

Five adults with primary intraventricular hemorrhage are described. The presenting features included headache, confusion and drowsiness. Focal neurological signs were minimal or absent. All five had a history of hypertension, three patients had bilateral internal carotid occlusion at its origin, one had unilateral occlusion of the left internal carotid artery with severe stenosis of the contral...

A 54-year-old female presented with a cryptic arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the choroid plexus of the fourth ventricle causing intraventricular hemorrhage. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging disclosed the lesion near the fourth ventricle, but bilateral vertebral angiograms showed no abnormalities. The preoperative diagnosis was cavernous angioma. The mass was removed compl...
