BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Spontaneous intraparenchymal hemorrhage is a dreaded complication of unknown etiology following flow-diversion treatment. Using the International Retrospective Study of the Pipeline Embolization Device registry, we studied demographic, aneurysm, and procedural characteristics associated with intraparenchymal hemorrhage following Pipeline Embolization Device treatment. M...

Previous studies have suggested that low total cholesterol levels are associated with an increased risk of intraparenchymal hemorrhage. The present study extends the evidence of an association between low total cholesterol levels and hemorrhage risk. We showed an association between low low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( 80 mg/dL [ 2.06 mmol/L]) and increased risk of death due to intraparenc...

abstract the intraparenchymal schwannomas are very rare tumors with only 52 reported cases . we describe a 38 years old man with eight months history of poorly controlled seizures despite of medical therapy. on brain ct scan a 1.5 x 1.5 cm hypodense enhancing lesion was seen in right posterior-inferior frontal lobe. on brain mri the lesion was hypointense in t1 and hyperintense in t2 with homog...

account for account for 8% of all primary brain tumours in adults, with most cases being acoustic neuromas, intraparenchymal schwannomas of the brain are rare. Gibson et al. (1) reported the first English-language account of an intraparenchymal intracerebral schwannoma in 1966. Since then, several other cases of this neoplasm have been reported (2, 3). We present a case of an unusual intracrani...

BACKGROUND Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) is a common cause of death in acute liver failure (ALF) and is determinant for decision-making regarding the timing of liver transplantation. The recommended type ICP monitoring device is controversial in ALF patients. Epidural devices had less risk of hemorrhagic complications, but they are less reliable than intraparenchymal ones. METHOD Twent...

Inflammatory pseudotumors are rare entities which occasionally affect the pulmonary parenchyma. Their clinical diagnosis arises in a variety of ways and half the time they are detected by chance. Deciding on a therapeutic approach is difficult because a firm diagnosis is established only after studying the excised tissue. We describe our experience with the diagnosis, surgical treatment, and fo...

A 39-year-old female had been subject to headache, and intermittent seizures for 9 years and decreasing memory for one year, without obvious neurological signs. An MRI revealed a 2x2 cm contrast-enhanced lesion in the frontal lobe, with a cyst and peritumoral edema, which was not attached to the dura or falx. Preoperatively, it was diagnosed as a glioma. Total surgical removal of the lesion led...
