Background: Large middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarcts may be complicated by and life-threatening brain edema. Objective: To identify brain computed tomographic (CT) findings that can predict neurologic deterioration in patients with large middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory infarctions. Neurological deterioration was defined as progressive drowsiness or signs of brain herniation. Patients ...

Background: vertigo may be a warning sign of impending vertebrobasilar stroke. Objective: To investigate the role of brain stem auditory evoked potential (BAEP), electronystagmography (ENG) studies and results of transcranial Doppler (TCD) in patients with vertigo of vertebrobasilar origin and patients with vertigo of non-vertebrobasilar origin. Methods: Twenty five patients with vertigo aged 4...

Background: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive method of stimulating the brain that is increasingly being used in neuropsychiatric research and clinical psychiatry. Some studies have suggested that the pathophysiology of schizophrenia may involve dysfunction of excitatory and/or inhibitory neural function This study aimed to investigate the cortical neuronal excitability ...

Background and Objectives: Craniopharyngioma (CP) patients typically show good neuropsychiatric outcome following tumor resection. We present the case of a 51-year old woman who sustained damage to white matter pathways during surgery resulting in a disconnection of the Papez circuit (loss of bilateral mammillary bodies, columns of the fornix and mammillothalamic tracts). Methods and Results: N...

Background and purpose of study: Considerable effort has been directed towards acute stroke research with numerous drug therapies being tried and tested. Monitoring and attempting to stabilize physiological parameters within normal limits were standard practice for acute stroke units. So the purpose of this study was designed to evaluate the effect of changes in these physiological parameters o...

The authors screened and examined sixty one chlldren and adolescents who were receiving neuroleptic treatment from consecutive psychiatric admissions and psychiatric consultations to psychiatric center for the presence of Tardive Dyskinesia (TD) using standardized assessment tools (AIMS and ADS). Assessment was done on more than one occasion and the diagnosis of posltlve cases of TD was based o...
