One hundred consecutive patients were randomly given hypocarbic (PaCO2 less than 25 torr) or hypercarbic (PaCO2 greater than 60 torr) general anesthesia during carotid endarterectomy to test the effect of the two regimens upon the incidence of postoperative neurological deficit. An indwelling shunt was not used. One patient died, two have permanent neurological deficits and two have temporary n...

We present a unique imaging presentation of Headache and Neurological Deficits with Lymphocytic pleocytosis (HaNDL) Syndrome. Case Report A Syndrome of Headache and Neurological Deficits with Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Lymphocytic Pleocytosis (Handl) with Diffuse Vasogenic Leakage of Gadolinium MRI Contrast into the Extra-Axial CSF Cisterns Neema Patel1*, Vivek Gupta1, Kevin Barrett2, and Prasanna

INTRODUCTION Cerebral malaria is a common cause of neurological sequelae and death in childhood. Information on persistent neurological sequelae post hospital discharge and their predisposing factors are scarce. METHODS This is a prospective study describing persisting neurological impairments post discharge among children treated for cerebral malaria. In addition the study was designed to in...

Studies focusing on neuropsychological impairments in Wilson's disease (WD) have highlighted that patients showing neurological signs present significant deficits in a wide range of cognitive domains. Attentional and executive impairments have also been described in people with hepatic WD. However, social cognition abilities, i.e. cognitive processes required to perceive the emotions, intention...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Isradipine, a calcium channel blocker, provides consistent protection of the brain from injury and reduces neurological deficits produced by ischemic stroke in hypertensive rats. In these experiments, isradipine was utilized to cross-validate both the serial MRI measurement of brain infarctions with histology measurements and to validate a series of simple neurological deficit t...

  We report two cases of de novo Gemistocytic glioblastomas. In case one, a 35 year male presented with features of raised intracranial pressure and rapid neurological deterioration. In case 2; a 73 year old male presented with rapid neurological deterioration and focal neurological deficits. In both cases imaging findings were suggestive of high grade malignancy involving the brain. This was ...

BACKGROUND Thoracic spine cancer metastases is frequently the cause of neurological deficits. Despite the availability of diagnostics, delays in treatment are still quite common. The aim of this work is to analyze the reasons for delayed diagnostics and treatment, in patients with neurological deficits in the course of metastatic spine disease. METHODS In our study patients medical data was a...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In humans, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) causes marked perihematomal edema formation and neurological deficits. A rat ICH model, involving infusion of autologous blood into the caudate, has been used extensively to study mechanisms of edema formation, but an examination of behavioral outcome would improve its preclinical utility and provide a more rigorous assessment of ...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the clinical features and outcome of patients with progressive neurological deficits due to disc herniation who were treated surgically within 24 h. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of consecutive patients who were admitted between 2004 and 2013 via the Emergency Department. Records were screened for presenting symptoms, neurological status at admission, di...
