BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The mortality rate of cerebellar hemorrhage (CH) is generally higher than other types of intracranial hemorrhage. Recently, the increased survey rate of CH has come from improved clinical imaging and earlier surgical intervention. Hence, the predictors of intermittent- (1 to 6 months) and long-term (> 6 months) mortality are clinically practical use for educational and th...

BACKGROUND Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is the second leading cause of mortality in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, the prognostic factors for ICH in AML patients are still under investigation. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 841 AML patients admitted to the Department of Internal Medicine from January 1995 to December 2007 were enrolled in this study. RESULTS There we...

We report a patient with unilateral midbrain hemorrhage which caused ipsilateral complete oculomotor nerve palsy with pupillary involvement, contralateral upgaze paresis, contralateral limb ataxia and Parinaud’s syndrome. CT scan and MRI brain demonstrated a hemorrhage in the left paramedian midbrain probably involving the oculomotor fascicles; extension of the hemorrhage to the most rostral mi...

Introduction: Vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD) is an arterial disease characterized by dilatation, elongation, and tortuosity of the vertebral basilar arteries. VBD can generate intracranial hemorrhage, compression brainstem, ischemic stroke as most common presentation. Millard-Gubler syndrome (MGS) a pontine-crossed affecting pons at level facial nerve nucleus. We present unusual case post...

We present a case of oculomotor palsy due to hypertensive hemorrhage in the caudate nucleus, with intraventricular extension. To our knowledge, this is the only instance of this complication occurring due to hypertensive hemorrhage. Our patient initially developed headache at the time of her hemorrhage; 8 days later, she developed complete third nerve palsy, which showed improvement at follow-u...
