unconsciousness/necrosis

In this case we present a patient with unruptured non-coronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm associated with diverse clinical findings, caused by acquired degenerative changes of the aortic wall. A previously healthy 36-year-old female was admitted to the neurological clinic of our hospital having

We describe the serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in a six-year-old girl with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, who presented with seizures and unconsciousness during a hypoadrenal crisis. Initial neuroimaging revealed the presence of brain edema with high signal changes in the

Background: Treatment options for patients presenting with life-threatening splanchnic ischemia, including that of the intestine and liver, could previously only receive salvage surgery and attempted medical revascularization. We propose

Carbon monoxide (CO) has the toxic effects of tissue hypoxia and produces various systemic and neurological complications. The main clinical manifestations of acute CO poisoning consist of symptoms caused by alterations of the cardiovascular system such as initial tachycardia and hypertension, and

Purpose: The objective of this study was to report a case of bilateral necrotizing retinitis following viral encephalitis caused by the pseudorabies virus. Case report: A

A 10-year-old girl had an infarction in the left brain during an acute viral meningoencephalitis. She initially showed seizure, unconsciousness and fever, and right hemiplegia gradually developed. She died at the 48th day of disease from respiratory disturbance and renal failure. Cranial MRI during

The authors report a 62-year-old woman, with stroke-like onset of unconsciousness, left oculomotor nerve paresis, slight right-sided paresis with extensor plantar response. On autopsy thombosis at the site of basilar artery bifurcations was found with symmetrical "butterfly type" necrosis of the

A fatal case of acute pancreatitis is reported. On account of difficulty in eating caused by persistent dysphagia and heartburn, the clinical condition of a 39-year-old man who had been a heavy drinker deteriorated rapidly. He was taken to a hospital in an ambulance in an unconscious state. Based on

Traumatically induced subtotal hippocampal neuronal loss traditionally has been considered a consequence of intracranial hypertension and impaired cerebral perfusion. We have examined the frequency and distribution of hippocampal lesions in an acceleration model of brain injury in 54 anesthetized

Coma blisters (CBs) are self-limited lesions that occur in regions of pressure during unconscious states classically induced by barbiturates. We report a case of CBs sans coma that were histologically confirmed in a 41-year-old woman who developed multiple tense abdominal bullae with surrounding

Traumatic lesions near the superior margin of the brain frequently are caused by an anterior or posterior blow to the head. The injuries consist of disruptions of one or a few (with subdural bleeding) or of numerous or all (with instant death or immediate unconsciousness and later death because of

A case of Alexander's disease in a 39-year-old man is reported. The clinical course was characterized by headaches and cerebellar gait for 6 months. A state of acute unconsciousness followed, lasting 2 days. Subsequently, dysfunction of the lower cranial nerves on the left-side, left-sided motor

A malfunctioning heater caused a severe carbon monoxide (CO) intoxication leading to unconsciousness and predominantly right-sided extrapyramidal syndrome in a 29-year-old man. Follow-up included thorough clinical monitoring, and brain MRI and PET studies. Nine days after the poisoning, brain MRI

Authors discuss the possible etiopathogenesis of Reye syndrome (RS) on the base of eight own cases presented in this paper and others previously described. The febrile infection was observed on the beginning of the disease in all actually analysed cases and was followed by symptoms of acute damage

Four cases of "delayed" sudden infant death are described in infants, who were found lifeless and were resuscitated, but did not regain consciousness. Circulatory failure occurred 20-48 hours later. In these cases, one could expect an accentuation of such lesions which might have caused the
