hydrocephalus/edema

Traumatic brain injury is a common and serious pathology, responsible of an important morbi-mortality. The TBI can be consider as a complex set of nosological entities of different evolution with difficult early identification whereas the main issue of this pathology depends on prevention and

The monitoring of intracranial pressure (ICP) is crucial in head injuries and pathologies such as brain edema, arachnoid cyst, craniosynostosis or, in very-low-birthweight infants, post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus. Some current methods of ICP are invasive and, in the case of lumbar puncture, require

Spontaneous aneurysm subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) occurs annually in approximately 400 people in Denmark. SAH is most commonly seen in younger (median age 56 years) and women (71%), have a high mortality (21-44%) and result in a poor neurological outcome in about 50% of patients. Due to the

Spina bifida can be a devastating neurological congenital anomaly. It results from incomplete closure of the neural tube between 22 and 28 embryological days. Its incidence is approximately 1-2 per 1,000 births. It is considered the most common congenital anomaly of the central nervous system

I) SIGNIFICANCE 1) Significance and Incidence and Burden of the disease Intracranial aneurysm is a prevalent disease estimated around 2-5% of the population. Aneurysm rupture leads to aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage , which have a tremendous impact on the patient's health, and a high mortality

Primary brain tumors in adults are less common than metastatic tumors. The most frequent are glioblastoma multiforme, metastases, anaplastic astrocytoma, meningioma, pituitary tumors and vestibular schwannoma. 70% of the tumors in adults are supratentorial. The most infratentorial tumors are

Hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH) is a type of stroke that is caused by hypertension-induced intracranial arterial, venous, and capillary ruptures. In recent years, the incidence of HICH has become higher, which has exposed society greatly to heavy social and economic burdens. Therefore

Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) is seen in head trauma, hydrocephalus, intracranial tumors, hepatic encephalopathy, and cerebral edema. Intractable elevated ICP can lead to death or devastating neurological damage either by reducing cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) and causing cerebral

Spina bifida can be a devastating neurological congenital anomaly . It results from incomplete middleline closure of the neural tube between 22 and 28 embryological days. Its incidence is approximately 1 per 1,000 / 2,000 births. It is considered the most common congenital anomaly of the central

A skull defect is inevitable in patients with traumatic brain injury undergoing decompression treatment, which results in a loss of physiological and functional integrity of the brain that makes atmospheric pressure directly act on the brain tissue to induce environmental disorders in the brain.

Decompressive craniectomy is a neurosurgical procedure that is used frequently for mass and/or intracranial hypertension. The Trephined Syndrome (or Sinking Skin Flap Syndrome) is a neurological deterioration which follows craniectomy and which is attributed to a large bone flap size. The

Spina bifida is a congenital anomaly that results from incomplete closure of the neural tube between 22 and 28 embryological days. Its incidence is approximately 2-4 cases per 10,000 births, and it is considered the most common congenital central nervous system anomaly that is compatible with life

Background Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a severe disease affecting approximately 400 patients per year in Switzerland. Death and severe disability after spontaneous SAH are related to the initial severity of the bleeding. The scale which is most often used and recommended to grade the

Spina bifida can be a devastating neurological congenital anomaly . It results from incomplete closure of the neural tube between 22 and 28 embryological days. Its incidence is approximately 1-2 per 1,000 births. It is considered the most common congenital anomaly of the central nervous system that

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a complication of type 1, or "insulin-dependent," diabetes (T1DM) and is defined by a high blood glucose level (over 200 mg/dL) coupled with severe acidosis. Children with T1DM lack adequate insulin production. Without insulin, glucose cannot be used by cells to
