Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com J Neurol Stroke 2016, 4(1): 00119 It is well recognized that treatment of hypertension is critical in the early management of ICH, aneurysmal SAH, and RPLS. This creates a dilemma in that aggressive hypertension management can place a patient at risk of ischemia due to cerebral hypoperfusion. There is no specific blood pressure control and CV manage...

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) during pregnancy is quite rare, however it has a high maternal mortality rate. A pregnant woman in the 16th gestational week was admitted to our hospital with a drowsy level of consciousness. A brain magnetic resonance (MR) image showed hemorrhage on the prepontine cistern, and both sylvian fissures, and MR angiography and cerebral digital subtraction an...

BACKGROUND Intracranial aneurysms related to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection have been well described in pediatric patients but not in adults. OBJECTIVE To describe a case of intracranial large-vessel aneurysmal vasculopathy causing stroke in a 27-year-old HIV-infected woman. DESIGN Comparison of clinical and histological data with previously published cases. SETTING A referr...

We report the clinical presentation and genetic screening of 2 patients with thoracic aortic aneurysms. A novel TGFBR2 mutation in the 5'untranslated region (c.-59C>T) was identified in a 31-year-old man with a Stanford type A aortic dissection. Bioinformatics tools showed that c.-59C>T variant was predicted to affect exonic splicing enhancer, as validated by quantitative real-time RT-PCR, reve...

OBJECTIVE The reason for longstanding fatigue following aneurysmal subarachnoidal hemorrhage (SAH) is still not clarified. The bleed from supratentorial aneurysms is often in the vicinity of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland making an endocrine dysfunction plausible. METHODS Ten patients with post-SAH fatigue were investigated with 3D-CBF (SPECT) and underwent an evaluation of the pituitar...

BACKGROUND We report a rare case of aneurysmal dilatation of filum terminale artery after resection of filum terminal myxopapillary ependymoma. CASE DESCRIPTION The authors report a rare aneurysmal dilatation of the filum terminale artery following removal of a filum terminal myxopapillary ependymoma in a 10-year-old male. The patient presented with 6-month history of increasing back pain wit...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the incidence and severity of pituitary insufficiency after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage. METHODS Pituitary function was tested in a series of patients more than 12 months but less than 60 months after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage using a combined TRH-LHRH-arginine test and the insulin tolerance test, to elucidate possible deficits in the gonadotrophic, ...

BACKGROUND Aneurysmal bone cyst is an expansile bone lesion, non-neoplastic in nature, occurring most commonly in long bones. It is uncommon in facial bones and exceptionally rare in ethmoid bone. Ten cases of aneurysmal bone cysts of ethmoid bone have been reported so far. CASE REPORT A young adolescent presented with decreased vision and pain in the right eye. MRI revealed an expansile lesi...

A 21-year-old man with no known medical history presented with substernal chest pain. Serial 12-lead electrocardiography showed dynamic ST-segment elevations in the anterolateral leads. Emergent coronary angiography revealed diffuse coronary aneurysmal disease and thrombotic occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery. The patient underwent urgent coronary artery bypass grafting. ...
