The syndrome of left ventricular dysfunction in patients without obstructive coronary artery disease following central nervous system injury is termed neurogenic stunned myocardium (NSM). It has been described most commonly in association with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Nonspecific electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities, elevated troponin I levels, and reversible regional-wall motion ab...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the difference between myocardial injuries caused by nonaneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) or aneurysmal SAH. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 92 inpatients with SAH at early stage (within 48h), who were treated in our hospital from 2008 to 2014 were enrolled in this study. Differences in cerebral-cardiac syndrome seen in perimesencephalic subarachnoid hemorrhage...

conclusions intraventricular hemorrhage followed by comatose state is a rare finding of the castor bean seed ingestion. the patient’s condition improved dramatically after ffp transfusion. introduction castor bean seed is used to control some medical conditions including diabetes mellitus due to popular belief in its effectiveness. however it may cause severe poisoning in humans and animals and...

The rupture of hemangioblastoma with a hemorrhage, especially a ventricular system hemorrhage caused by the rupture of a hemangioblastoma located in the posterior part of the fourth ventricle, is very rare. This study reports a case of this rare disease. The patient was a 38-year-old male with onset after a sudden headache. Computed tomography examination after onset revealed a hemorrhage in th...

Meningiomas causing intracranial hemorrhage are rare, and hemorrhage from a lateral ventricular meningioma seems to be even rarer. We report a case of trigonal meningioma in a 43-year-old woman who presented with intraventricular hemorrhage, and describe the CT, MRI and angiographic findings.

BACKGROUND Myocardial hemorrhage after myocardial infarction (MI) usually goes undetected. We investigated the diagnostic accuracy of bright-blood T(2)-weighted cardiac MRI for myocardial hemorrhage in experimental MI. METHODS AND RESULTS MI was created in swine by occluding the left anterior descending (n=10) or circumflex (n=5) coronary arteries for 90 minutes followed by reperfusion for ≤3...

We reported a case report of 50-year-old woman with stroke hemorrhage due to subarachnoid hypertensive urgency, left ventricular hypertrophy, and dyslipidemia. Subarachnoid indicates the presence blood in space between pia mater arachnoid which usually results from ruptured cerebral aneurysm or arteriovenous malformation. The patient presents decreased consciousness preceded by severe headache ...

Introduction: The incidence of postneurosurgical Acinetobacter baumannii ventriculitis/meningitis, primarily due to drug-resistant strains, has increased considerably in recent years. However, limited therapeutic options are available because most antibiotics poorly penetrate the blood-brain barrier, especially pediatric patients. Case Presentation: A five-year-old boy developed ventriculitis e...
