consciousness disorders/hemorrhage

Vascular arteriovenous malformations (VAM) are aggressive vascular diseases associated with increased haemorrhagic risk in terms of morbidity and mortality. Vascular arteriovenous malformations are usually sporadic. The main symptom of VAM is hemorrhage, in 50% of cases. We here report the case of a

Cerebral injuries refer to an actual injury to the brain matter. Injuries seen are concussion, contusion, or diffuse axonal injury. Bleeding into any of the meningeal spaces, brain, or ventricles is known as intracranial hemorrhage. Seldom do cerebral injuries appear as distinct entities but rather

Plasma renin activity (PRA) was estimated in 23 patients during the 1st week after a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and in a control group of 6 postlaminectomy patients. Patients with altered levels of consciousness and neurological deficits had significantly higher levels of PRA than did patients

Hemorrhagic stroke is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality. Postpartum and pregnancy are risk period. Only urgent care in intensive care units may improve prognosis. We report the case of 22 years old's Morrocan, who presented to our department with an intense headache headset

OBJECTIVE Fever is a common clinical complication in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and is usually related to prognosis in early stage of diseases. In our study, we try to help improve the outcome of SAH by assessing possible risk factors for fever and investigating the influence of

Delayed cerebral ischemia as a result of cerebral vasospasm is the most common cause of death and disability after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). It leads to death or permanent neurologic deficits in over 17-40% of SAH patients. The initial and main symptom of cerebral vasospasm is

BACKGROUND Clinical research in trauma patients poses multiple challenges in study design. These reflect the heterogeneity of injury and treatment, the paucity of acceptable study endpoints aside from mortality, and the difficulties inherent in obtaining informed consent in acutely ill populations.

Background. Pituitary apoplexy (PA) is a clinical syndrome caused by acute ischemic infarction or hemorrhage of the pituitary gland. The typical clinical presentation of PA includes acute onset of severe headache, visual disturbance, cranial nerve palsy, and altered level of consciousness. Case

Consciousness disorders are closely related to the general dysfunction of the brain stem, and called by some authors brain stem insufficiency. To evaluate the degree of brain stem dysfunction, an original scale has been elaborated. Each group of brain stem functions are scored. Consciousness being

OBJECTIVE The data of patients with an MRI-confirmed diagnosis of thalamic stroke were analyzed to identify risk factors and to describe the clinical syndromes according to the thalamic arterial territory involved. METHODS We examined the records of all patients with a diagnosis of thalamic stroke

Introduction: We herein describe three patients who developed fatal intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) after carotid artery stenting (CAS).Case Presentation: We retrospectively reviewed 126 patients who underwent CAS from January 2016

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in children is a rare but disabling disease that accounts for almost half cases of stroke. We report our experience of ICH in children. Retrospective review of medical records of children (1 month-16 years) admitted in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit between January 2007

The medical records of 109 patients who presented to the emergency department during a five-year period with proven nontraumatic, spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) were retrospectively reviewed. The clinical presentation, diagnostic modalities used, and accuracy of diagnosis by emergency
