OBJECTIVE Respiratory arrest following brainstem herniation has been attributed to injuries resulting from compression of the respiratory centers. While it is widely perceived that the chemoreceptor network, consisting of the glossopharyngeal nerve and carotid body (GPN-CB), is essential for the modulation of respiration, its contribution to the development of respiratory arrest has not been in...

To determine the natural history of brain cavernous malformations, the authors entered patients referred to their center into a prospective registry between 1987 and 1993. All patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging, which showed the typical appearance of this lesion, and conservative management was recommended in all. Patients or their referring physicians were contacted for follow-up da...

Objectives: The result of auditory brainstem response is used worldwide for detecting hearing impairments or hearing aids. This study aimed to introduce the superiority of mathematical innovation algorithm toward subjective evaluation by an audiologist. The automatic algorithm method is encouraged for detecting the waves of Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR), because it can reduce subjective eva...

abstract:background : hyperbilirubinemia is one of the most common cause of congenital sensory neuronal hearing loss. these patients are screened by auditory brainstem response (abr) test at bilirubin levels higher than 1% of gestational weight. aim: to determine whether hyperbilirubinemia less than 1% of gestational weight could induce hearing loss and abnormal auditory brainstem response (abr...

Brainstem abscesses are localized collections of pus or infected material within the brainstem, which can cause inflammation, tissue damage, and compression adjacent structures. This lead to a variety symptoms, including headache, fever, focal neurological deficits, among many others. potentially life-threatening considered be rare, pontine even rarer. Both often caused by spread infection from...

Abstract Background The Low-profile Visualized Intraluminal Support (LVIS) device is a self-expanding, nitinol, single-braid, closed-cell that was recently developed for endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms. However, current knowledge regarding the use LVIS devices to treat vertebral and basilar artery aneurysms limited. We aimed evaluate feasibility, efficacy, safety treating Me...

Abstract Background The frequency of dysphagia varies considerably across literature. Post-stroke is a common cause increased morbidity and length hospitalization. This study aimed to estimate the frequency, risk factors following first-ever ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke its neuroradiological correlation. Methods Two hundred fifty patients (180 70 strokes) with were recruited within 72 h onset...

 Background: Major depression is a common disorder with great social and individual burdens. Transcranial sonography (TCS) is a useful and noninvasive measure for assessment of normal and impaired brain parenchyma. The brainstem raphe nuclei are in close association with dorsocaudal limbic system and plays an important role in depression. In this study we compared the echogenicity of the r...

Abstract Objective We retrospectively reviewed the post-irradiation course of cases treated with radiotherapy for gliomas involving thalamus or brainstem. Methods Thirty-seven brainstem from 2007 to 2021 in our hospital were included. Median age was 47 (19-79) years, and KPS at start irradiation 80% less 26 cases. Tumor localization only/brainstem only/both 20/9/8 Two did not undergo biopsy, ot...
