background & importance: our study was performed based on the first case, reported in english, of a patient with three contemporary lesions, an extra-axial malformation and two vascular ones. case presentation: a 62-year-old man referred to our clinic due to right hand tremor associated to a slowing of idea-forming function and movements. the neuroradiological evidence showed a right fronto-tem...

mycotic aneurysm of external carotid artery is extremely rare. we herein report a case of external carotid artery (eca) aneurysm following severe traumatic brain injury. a 24-year-old man with severe traumatic brain injury (tbi) following a car accident was referred to rajaee trauma center emergency room affiliated to shiraz university of medical sciences in shiraz, iran. he underwent ventricul...

Introduction: Themaintenance of hemodynamic stability in brain aneurysm surgery has paramount clinical significance in order to prevent vasospasm in the patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Regarding this, the present study was conducted to assess the role of magnesium sulfate in preventing vasospasm and maintaining hemodynamic stability during endovascular coiling procedure for br...

Background and Aim: This study aimed to present the results of early and delayed operation on patients with ruptured brain aneurysms. In addition to comparing the results and rates of morbidity and mortality in the surgical procedure and identifying the effective factors, this study aimed to provide methods to improve the treatment of brain aneurysm. Methods and Materials/Patients: This was a ...

Background: Cerebral aneurysm disease causes intracranial hemorrhage by rupturing, which can eventually, lead to organ failure or death. For this reason, it is important to anticipate the reasons for rupturing of a cerebral aneurysm from biomechanical point of view. Investigating this disease may even help the physicians to find treatments and predict the patient’s situation. This research was ...

conclusions although propofol remains a standard agent for such types of surgeries, lidocaine proved equally effective and coupled with its low cost, minimal side effects and omission of other hypnotic agents was a plausible induction agent and a maintenance drug in the selected cases. case presentation lidocaine was applied as the sole anaesthetic for induction and maintenance during aneurysm ...

A 57 year old female presented with acute onset headache started from 1 month before the current visit. The headache was located on the left frontotemporal area and had increased during the month. On brain CT scan, there were bilateral round hyperdense lesions in the sylvian fissure which were flow void on brain MRI indicating aneurysms. Brain DSA (digital subtraction angiography) was performed...

AIM The brain venous drainage dominance is generally divided into three groups; right or left dominance and co-dominance. There is no study in the literature examining the link between brain venous drainage and aneurysm formation or rupture. Our aim was to evaluate the association between venous dominancy, aneurysm formation and rupture. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eighty-six patients, who underwent...

In this research, we constructed functions that are necessary for the operation simulation system which assists medical students to inhibit brain aneurysm from exploding. The system reported in this paper is “detection of blood vessels”, “detection of brain aneurysm” and “route planning to brain aneurysm”. Not only the detection method but also the method to reduce the miss detection is realize...

Gliosarcoma is relatively rare brain tumor of glial and sarcomatous origin. The occurrence of this highly malignant brain tumor in the vicinity of the clipped aneurysm has not been reported in the literature. The authors report a case of 37-year-old man who developed sudden onset severe headache. Angiogram displayed a saccular aneurysm located on the bifurcation of left internal carotid artery,...
