The patient was a woman without hypertension who had previously experienced intracranial hemorrhage twice at 48 and 56 years of age. At 59 years of age, she was diagnosed with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) based on the presence of a brain stem lesion and the detection of anti-aquaporin 4 (AQP4) antibodies. After 5 months of continuous treatment with prednisolone (15 mg/day), sh...

this study briefly reviews the heart abnormalities in diverse intracranial pathologies, including strokes, spontaneous and traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracranial hemorrhage, and presents the results of a one-year prospective study of heart abnormalities in patients with moderate to severe head injuries and subarachnoid hemorrhage. different abnormalities such as: qt -interval, t -wa...

The devastating natural history of 138 consecutive admissions for non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage to a major emergency care municipal hospital is reviewed. Sixty-four percent of the patients had demonstrable intracranial hematomas while 36% had mainly subarachnoid hemorrhage. Hypertension was a related condition in 43% of the parenchymal hematoma patients, while proved aneurysms accounted...

This study compared the results of neurodevelopmental examination at 6 months’ corrected age of premature infants with neonatal seizures and/or intracranial hemorrhage and normal premature infants. There was a statistically significant correlation (p=0.000007) between intracranial hemorrhage and seizures in the group of 68 premature infants seen in the neurodevelopmental outpatient service at H...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We sought to report the occurrence and risk factors of intracranial hemorrhage during long-term follow-up of patients with internal carotid artery stenosis, with and without carotid endarterectomy. METHODS From the prospective data of the North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial, 3 types of intracranial hemorrhage were recognized: petechiae within infarct...

Objective To determine whether preterm infants diagnosed with intracranial hemorrhage (by transfontanellar ultrasound) at birth have cerebral lesions that are detectable by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) upon reaching school age. Materials and Methods MRI scans of the brain were obtained in 22 school-age children. Fifteen had presented intracranial hemorrhage at birth, and seven had not. We...

Warfarin-related intracranial hemorrhage carries a high mortality and poor neurological outcome. Rapid reversal of coagulopathy is a cornerstone of medical therapy to halt bleeding progression; however the optimal approach remains undefined. Prothrombin complex concentrates have promising features that may rapidly reverse coagulopathy, but remain relatively unstudied. We aim to review the liter...

Cranial sonography revealed cerebral hemorrhage in three of seven neonates with erythroblastosis fetalis. Among the three infants with hemorrhage, one was 28 weeks gestational age and experienced germinal matrix hemorrhage with ventricular extension, a finding typical of cerebroventricular hemorrhage in the premature population. The other two infants with intracranial hemorrhage were more gesta...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Our aim was to determine the patterns of error of radiology residents in the detection of intracranial hemorrhage on head CT examinations while on call. Follow-up studies were reviewed to determine if there was any adverse effect on patient outcome as a result of these preliminary interpretations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Radiology residents prospectively interpreted 22,59...

Venous thromboembolism occurs frequently in patients with cancer who have brain metastases, but there is limited evidence supporting the safety of therapeutic anticoagulation. To assess the risk for intracranial hemorrhage associated with the administration of therapeutic doses of low-molecular-weight heparin, we performed a matched, retrospective cohort study of 293 patients with cancer with b...
