Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) may occur as an isolated event from primary ventricular bleeding or as a complication of brain hemorrhage from another etiology. It is associated with high mortality and morbidity. The underlying risk factors include hypertension and aneurysms, among others. However, not all the exact etiologies are known. In this study, a case of a 24-year-old man who suffered...

Neurological symptoms are rare manifestations of Behcet's disease. In this paper, we report cerebral venous thrombosis as the initial presentation of Behcet's disease in a 40 yearold man. Our patient presented with a six-week history of headache, progressive loss of vision in the right eye and recurrent oral ulcers. Physical examination revealed oral ulcers and posterior synechia in the right e...

A 20-year-old woman was admitted to a Gynecology Hospital in her 6(th) month of pregnancy for high blood pressure and tonic-clonic seizure. Primary diagnosis was eclampsia, and for that reason she underwent cesarean section. She also had headache on frontal and parietal areas without nausea or vomiting. There was not a focal neurological sign. Rheumatology consultation was requested. Systemic l...

This study aimed to evaluate the early imaging characteristics of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). A retrospective analysis was conducted of the clinical and imaging data of 62 patients with CVST diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and/or digital subtraction angiography (DSA). In the 62 cases, MRI (1.5 T MRI) and magnetic resonance venography (MRV) examinations were conducted ...

The spectrum of presentation of intracranial hypotension is clinically perplexing. We report a case of 31-year-old post-partum woman who underwent an uneventful caesarean section under spinal anesthesia. From the second day of surgery she developed postural headache, the headache lost its postural character after few days. She then developed seizures and ataxic hemiparesis. Magnetic resonance i...

background: early diagnosis of brain tumors has significant effect on the treatment process. brain metastatic tumors are usually diagnosed following the neurological symptoms in patients or incidentally after computerized tomography (ct) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (mri) requests of the brain. objectives: implementation of a new method for being informed about the origin of brain tumors...

nowadays brain tumors remain as a significant cause of morbidity and mortality and are often treatment refractory. the grading of brain tumor has an important implication in clinical management. currently, magnetic resonance spectroscopy (mrs) is an important modality in evaluating and grading brain tumors. the aim of this study is  evaluation of metabolites in the differentiation of brain tumo...

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is an uncommon but potentially lethal condition that can present with headache, focal deficits, seizures, altered mental status, and papilledema. Nontraumatic dural sinus thrombosis is associated with medical conditions such as oral contraceptive use, pregnancy, dehydration, coagulopathies, connective tissue disorders, and leukemia. Traumatic dural sinus thrombo...
