OBJECTIVE In children with acute CNS infection, management of raised intracranial pressure improves mortality and neuromorbidity. We compared cerebral perfusion pressure-targeted approach with the conventional intracranial pressure-targeted approach to treat raised intracranial pressure in these children. DESIGN Prospective open-label randomized controlled trial. SETTING PICU in a tertiary ...

Lhermitte - Duclos disease also called dysplastic gangliocytoma of cerebellum is an extremely rare cerebellar lesion which share features of both malformation and neoplasm. The usual presentation is of raised intracranial pressure along with cerebellar signs. We report a case of 23 year male who presented with headache & diplopia. MRI was suggestive of the diagnosis. Subtotal excision of th...

although measurement of intracranial pressure by noninvasive methods has been suggested, but mainly invasive methods are used for this purpose-increase in episcleral venous pressure can be expected to result in a linear increase in intraocular pressure. congested oculat veins with capillary leakage and hemorrhage are seen when the icp is increased, thus theoretically measurement of intraocular ...

Two cases of intracranial dissemination of primary intramedullary spinal cord gliomas are reported, with a review of the literature. One patient had a post mortem confirmation and in the second, cerebral CT scan and CSF examination demonstrated the occurrence of intracranial dissemination. CSF protein was elevated on both patients and malignant cells were found late in only the one patient. Bot...

conclusions although, the exact cause of pseudotumor cerebri in most individuals is unknown, but we should remind tuberculosis specially in endemic area for this infection. case presentation here, we presented a 14-year-old girl who referred to our hospital for fever, headache, vomiting and diplopia which has not respond to antibiotic therapy for acute meningitis. finally, with more evaluations...

Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) is a disorder characterized by raised intracranial pressure without evidence of another cause such as infection, space occupying lesion or vascular abnormality. The incidence of IIH seems to be increasing amongst adolescent children, but the pathogenesis of the disease still remains unclear. We report a case of visual loss with raised intracranial pres...

BACKGROUND Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is a condition typically characterised by headache, normal level of consciousness, papilloedema and raised cerebrospinal fluid pressure. Children often present with visual loss and atypical features of raised pressure, posing a diagnostic and management challenge. A range of renal disorders can predispose to developing this raised intracranial pre...
