background: anticoagulation therapy is a routine treatment in patients with hemorrhagic cerebral venous thrombosis (cvt). however, fear of hemorrhagic complications and deterioration course following anticoagulation often disturbs the responsible physician. methods: this was a prospective observational study on consecutive cvt patients with hemorrhagic venous infarction or subarachnoid hemorrha...

Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) is a high-spatial-resolution 3D gradient-echo MR imaging technique with phase postprocessing that accentuates the paramagnetic properties of blood products such as deoxyhemoglobin, intracellular methemoglobin, and hemosiderin. It is particularly useful for detecting intravascular venous deoxygenated blood as well as extravascular blood products. It is also ...

BACKGROUND Movement disorders occur in association with stroke and may have important clinical implications. METHODS We reviewed the medical literature regarding the clinical phenomenology, prevalence, localization and etiologic implications, and treatments for movement disorders occurring after stroke in adult patients. RESULTS Movement disorders occur uncommonly after stroke and include b...

background: hemorrhagic transformation (ht) of ischemic stroke (is) is a detrimental complication. this study investigated the association between serum ferritin level and ht in patients with massive is of middle cerebral artery.   methods: thirty patients with massive is of middle cerebral artery were enrolled in this prospective cohort study. they were divided into two groups based on the ser...

CONTEXT Aspirin has been widely used to prevent myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke but some studies have suggested it increases risk of hemorrhagic stroke. OBJECTIVE To estimate the risk of hemorrhagic stroke associated with aspirin treatment. DATA SOURCES Studies were retrieved using MEDLINE (search terms, aspirin, cerebrovascular disorders, and stroke), bibliographies of the articl...

We present a rare case of skull-base hemorrhagic chondrosarcoma in a patient with Ollier disease. Chondrosarcomas complicated by intracranial hemorrhage are very uncommon, with few reported cases in the literature. To our knowledge, this is the first such reported case.

In 2010 a new Lagovirus related to rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) emerged in France and has since rapidly spread throughout domestic and wild rabbit populations of several European countries. The new virus, termed RHDV2, exhibits distinctive genetic, antigenic and pathogenic features. Notably, RHDV2 kills rabbits previously vaccinated with RHDV vaccines. Here we report for the first t...

Carpal tunnel syndrome is considered the most common of the chronic compressive neuropathies. Its cause is generally unknown. Acute carpal tunnel syndrome, which is much less common, is more often directly related to fractures and fracture-dislocations about the wrist, hemorrhagic conditions, and vascular disorders involving the wrist. Many rare and unusual causes have been described, including...
