We describe the case of a 28-year-old obtunded woman who presented with bilateral anterior parietal lobe cortical hemorrhages associated with thrombosis of the superior sagittal sinus, both transverse and sigmoid sinuses, and multiple cortical veins draining into the sagittal sinus. Initial heparin therapy was not effective. A combination of AngioJet rheolytic catheter thrombectomy, balloon ang...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study is to determine if the delineation of one or two optimally chosen intracranial areas (ICA) is enough to achieve adequate estimates of intracranial volume (ICV) in magnetic resonance imaging. METHODS The correlations of 62 fully delineated ICVs with four types of ICV estimates were calculated. The estimate types were: (1) a single midsagittal ICA, (2) si...

Traumatic bilateral extradural haematoma resulting from injury to the superior sagittal sinus is rare; in such cases, early surgical evacuation of the haematoma and control of bleeding from the sinus can achieve an excellent patient outcome.

Patellar fracture is a relatively uncommon fracture especially the vertical sagittal type. In cases of high energy trauma injury, it is usually associated with fracture of ipsilateral distal femur or proximal tibia. However, the combination of vertical sagittal fracture patella and ipsilateral fracture lateral condyle is very rare. This necessitates judicious diagnosis and appropriate managemen...

Background: Severe positive sagittal malalignment can potentially lead to shortening and contracture of the psoas joint capsule in a flexed spinopelvic position. The utilization bilateral release supplement spinal deformity correction same hospitalization was not reported literature.Case Presentation: A 66-year-old patient presented with 5-year history severe global (sagittal vertical axis 220 ...

Background Multidirectional cranial distraction osteogenesis (MCDO) is a procedure of ours developed earlier for treating craniosynostosis. However, the numerous bone flaps led to prolonged operative time and occasional bone detachment from dura. We have since simplified the osteotomy design. In treating sagittal synostosis, required bone flaps have been reduced to 11 (from ~20). Methods In a...

OBJECTIVE To model the kinematics of the canine stifle in 3 dimensions using the Joint Coordinate System (JCS) and compare the JCS method with linear and segmental models. STUDY DESIGN In vivo biomechanical study. ANIMALS Normal adult mixed breed dogs (n=6). METHODS Dogs had 10 retroreflective markers affixed to the skin on the right pelvic limb. Dogs were walked and trotted 5 times throu...
