Intracranial hemorrhage is a serious cause of morbidity and mortality in the neonate. Subgaleal, subdural, subarachnoid, and intraventricular hemorrhage have varying pathophysiology, but each can have serious long-term consequences. This article reviews the pathophysiology, presentation, and outcomes for intracranial hemorrhage in the newborn, as well as potential therapeutic interventions.

Intracranial Hypertension Following Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage. In the acute phase after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, secondary brain injuries including posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus, repeat hemorrhage, brain edema, and vasospasmrelated ischemic strokes can lead to intractable intracranial hypertension that can be life-threatening in cases of severely compromised cerebral

Background Mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common condition at the Emergency Medicine Department. Head computer tomography (CT) scans in mild TBI patients must be properly justified in order to avoid unnecessary exposure to X-rays and to reduce the hospital/transfer costs. This study aimed to evaluate which clinical factors are associated with intracranial hemorrhage in Asian population ...

INTRODUCTION Intracranial hemorrhage usually occurs as a complication of hypertension, coagulopathy, or trauma. In rare instances, remote cerebellar hemorrhage (RCH) may complicate supratentorial or spinal surgery. METHODS Retrospective case series study. RESULTS We describe three cases of RCH complicating spinal and cranial surgical procedures associated with cerebrospinal fluid hypotensio...

Many pediatric malignancies have a propensity for CNS metastases. Metastases have been reported to present as intracranial hemorrhages, occasionally without a discernible underlying mass. Lack of contrast enhancement should not be exclusionary criteria for intracranial metastases in these patients. Our case is a metastatic lesion presenting as an intracranial hemorrhage without an identifiable ...

Objective: Case reports and retrospective review of remote cerebellar hemorrhage after microsurgical clipping of intracranial aneurysms. Methods: The medical and pathologic records were reviewed of 13 patients with remote cerebellar hemorrhage occurred after microsurgical clipping of intracranial aneurysms procedure during 2013-2014. Clinical symptoms, pathological mechanisms, treatments, and p...

Very rarely, spinal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SSAH) can occur without any direct spinal injury in patients with traumatic intracranial SAH. A-59-year-old male with traumatic intracranial subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) presented with pain and numbness in his buttock and thigh two days after trauma. Pain and numbness rapidly worsened and perianal numbness and voiding difficulty began on the next da...

INTRODUCTION Dabigatran etexilate was the first direct-acting oral anticoagulant approved in the United States. The prevalence of intracranial hemorrhage after blunt head trauma in patients on dabigatran is currently unknown, complicating adequate ability to accurately compare the risks and benefits of dabigatran to alternative anticoagulants. We aimed to determine the prevalence of intracrania...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intracranial hemorrhage is a serious complication of thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction, especially among the elderly, but little information exists on estimating risk. Better estimation of risk in individual patients may allow for withholding or using alternate therapies among those at highest risk. METHODS To quantify the risk and identify predictors...

Introduction: The present case study reports an intraparenchymal hemorrhage from a ruptured basilar tip aneurysm without subarachnoid hemorrhage. Case Report: A 57-year-old male presented with intraparenchymal hemorrhage from a ruptured basilar tip aneurysm without subarachnoid hemorrhage. The patient had successful endovascular embolization of his ruptured cerebral aneurysm 9 years previously....
