A case of diaphragmatic hernia is reported where the prenatal diagnosis was made sonographically in a hydropic fetus and the large associated fluid collection in the right side of the chest was aspirated in utero. Almost complete drainage of the chest and abdominal fluid was accomplished, with
BACKGROUND
In a monochorionic twin gestation, hydrops in one fetus often results from placental transfusion, accompanied by intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) of the non-hydropic fetus.
METHODS
A 35-year-old G11P9 presented with hydrops and IUGR of one of a monochorionic-diamniotic gestation.
Local edema at the operative bed developed a few hours after uneventful subtotal removal of a lesion occupying the lower medulla and upper cervical cord. The patient experienced apnea, quadriplegia, and circulatory collapse followed by acute respiratory insufficiency. Hydrocephalus secondary to
We report the case of a 12-year-old boy with a peritoneal ventricular shunt who developed acute pulmonary edema of neurogenic origin after laryngoscopy and orotracheal intubation. Such maneuvers in the presence of diminished intracranial distensibility caused transtentorial herniation. Delayed
We report a case of an infant with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and hydrops fetalis who died from hypoxic respiratory failure. Autopsy revealed type B interrupted aortic arch (IAA). Microarray revealed a female karyotype with deletion of chromosome 1p21.1p12. There may be an association
We describe the case of a patient with a recent history of high back pain, with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the thoracic spine showing intervertebral disk herniation into the spongious bone of the vertebral body of T9 that might have caused diffuse, low signal intensity on fluid-attenuated
Mucormycosis following hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) carries a very high mortality rate. Pulmonary mucormycosis often leads to systemic dissemination and eventual death. It is imperative for transplant providers to have a high level of suspicion for mucormycosis and OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between endolymphatic hydrops (EH) and hearing level or vestibular symptoms by focusing on EH herniation into the semicircular canal (SCC).
METHODS
Retrospective study.
METHODS
University hospital.
METHODS
The study included
A 13-year-old boy fell off a tree and developed an acute subdural hematoma (SDH) which was treated conservatively because the patient was fully conscious. After a generalized tonic-clonic seizure, he manifested signs of uncal herniation and neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE). The patient made a good

Altered mental status describes impaired mental functioning ranging from confusion to coma and indicates an illness, either metabolic or structural in nature. Metabolic causes include hypothyroidism, hyperuremia, hypo/hyperglycemia, hypo/hypernatremia, and encephalopathy. The structural
Reexpansion pulmonary edema following repair of missed diaphragmatic hernia is very rare .Here reported is a case of bilateral reexpansion pulmonary edema occurring after reconstruction of left sided post traumatic diaphragmatic hernia. The patient was re intubated and ventilated later put on
Although much is known about lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection and the subsequent immune response in its natural murine host, some crucial aspects of LCMV-mediated pathogenesis remain undefined, including the underlying basis of the characteristic central nervous system disease
BACKGROUND
For years, the maintenance of normal or supranormal serum sodium (Na) concentrations has been believed to be beneficial in brain injuries. Recently published guidelines for cerebral trauma recommend the use of hypertonic saline to achieve hypernatremia for the management of increased
From 1976 to 1993 we inserted 160 chronic peritoneal dialysis catheters for renal failure patients. Three of these patients developed sudden onset of penile and scrotal edema after the catheter had been in place for several months. The first patient was diagnosed by instilling technetium sulfur
OBJECTIVE
Nonimmune hydrops in the fetus is a finding that often portends death. The association and prognosis of fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and hydrops is not known.
METHODS
A retrospective review of all prenatally diagnosed cases and referrals of CDH was performed.
