a 34 day-old girl infant was admitted for poor feeding and cholestasis. she had a bulging fontanelle, with no evidence of intracranial infection or hemorrhage. investigations demonstrated that she had galactosemia. computed tomographic scans demonstrated the presence of diffuse cerebral edema. after treatment the edema resolved.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although blood pressure reduction has been postulated to result in a fall in cerebral perfusion pressure in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage, the latter is rarely measured. We assessed regional cerebral perfusion pressure in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage by using CT perfusion source data. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with acute primary intracerebral hem...

The most common neurologic manifestations of polycythemia vera (PV) are cerebral infarction and transient ischemic attacks, while cerebral hemorrhage or intracranial dissection has been rarely associated with PV. Here we report the first case of a 59-year-old patient with intracranial supraclinoid internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection causing cerebral infarction and concomitant subarachnoid ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Impairment of cerebrovascular autoregulation may promote secondary brain injury in acute brain insults. Until now, only limited data are available on autoregulation in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. In the current study, we aimed to investigate cerebrovascular reactivity and its significance for outcome in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. METHO...

Several non-invasive and invasive modalities have been used to monitor patients for cerebral ischemia after subarachnoid hemorrhage. A literature search was performed to identify original research studies testing monitors that may be used in addition to the standard measures of brain function and cerebral blood flow. Fifty observational studies were identified that evaluated the role of electro...

Several vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia syndrome (VITTS) cases have been reported after the ChAdOx1 nCov-19 vaccination. The current study systematically reviewed post-ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccination cases. Their laboratory and clinical features, as well diagnostic therapeutic measures, were investigated. Online databases searched until 25 August 2021. Studies reporting TTS included. Ov...

Subarachnoid hemorrhage and transient global cerebral ischemia result in similar pathophysiological changes in the cerebral microcirculation. These changes include microvascular constriction, increased leukocyte-endothelial interactions, blood brain barrier disruption, and microthrombus formation. This paper will look at various animal and preclinical studies that investigate these various micr...

Hypoxyrrhachia in Association with Intracranial Hemorrhage • Oxygen and carbon dioxide tensions in lumbar cerebrospinal fluid and arterial blood were determined in 15 patients. The results confirmed those reported in the literature with the exception of four patients with intracranial hemorrhage. Under this circumstance, oxygen tensions in the spinal fluid were considerably lower than those obt...

Intracerebral hemorrhage is one of the most common types of cerebrovascular disease in humans and often causes paralysis, a vegetative state and even death. Patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage are frequently monitored in intensive care units (ICUs). Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage is associated with a higher rate of mortality and morbidity than other intracephalic diseases. The ex...
