OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine the effect of indomethacin on reducing the incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage in premature infants treated in our units at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre. METHODS This historical cohort study included 45 infants born with birth weights of 1250g or less and received indomethacin in the first 12 hours of life for ...

Intraventricular meningioma is a rare tumor with approximately 170 previously reported cases (1–7). Despite this it is the most common intraventricular tumor in adults, in whom it is most often located in the trigone of the lateral ventricle (1, 2). Computed tomography (CT) features are similar to meningiomas elsewhere, and in most cases they appear as well-defined high-attenuation masses that ...

Following subarachnoid hemorrhage, the plasma concentration of atrial natriuretic factor is elevated and appears to be independent of atrial stretch. While the hypothalamus and circumventricular organs contribute to sodium and intravascular volume regulation, their influence on atrial natriuretic factor is not known. We tested the hypothesis that, following subarachnoid hemorrhage, suprasellar ...
