Headache is one of the most common manifestations of non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, which is an uncommon, but not rare, cause of cardiac arrest in adults. History of a sudden headache preceding collapse may be a helpful clue to estimate the cause of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
The differential diagnosis of headache is broad, ranging from immediately life-threatening to benign etiologies. Currently, headaches can be treated successfully with various nonnarcotic analgesics. Three cases are presented in which patients with headaches were treated in an emergency department
BACKGROUND
No evidence is available on the risks of neurologically asymptomatic minimal traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (mTIH) in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) for post-traumatic headache (PTH). The purpose of this study was to investigate whether mTIH in patients with TBI was
The most important signs of danger of a headache patient include exceptionally intense or acute headache, transient loss or progressive impairment of consciousness, and neurological deficit symptoms. These patients are referred to an urgent assessment by a physician. Computed tomography scanning of
We report a case of giant aneurysm causing subarachnoid hemorrhage in a pregnant female. A 25-year-old female presented with sudden onset of severe headache and vomiting with altered sensorium and right hemiplegia. On investigation, she had a giant supraclinoid segment internal carotid artery (ICA)
A normal component of the flora of the oropharynx, Neisseria sicca was first isolated in 1906 and has since been reported as a rare cause of various human infections including endocarditis, pneumonia, sinusitis, sepsis, and urethritis. We report the case of a 44-year-old African-American female with
Cluster headache (CH), paroxysmal hemicrania (PH), and short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing (SUNCT syndrome) are primary headaches grouped together as trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias (TACs). All are characterized by short-lived unilateral
A 44-year-old Chinese man developed severe occipital headache, nausea, and vomiting during acupuncture treatment of the posterior neck for chronic neck pain. Computed tomography of the head showed hemorrhage in the fourth, third, and lateral ventricles. A lumbar puncture confirmed the presence of
We report a case of dural arteriovenous malformation (dAVM) in the anterior cranial fossa presenting with intracranial hemorrhage. The patient was a 60-year-old man who became unconscious shortly after developing an acute headache. Computed tomography performed on admission demonstrated a left
BACKGROUND
Relatively few reports are available on dural arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) accompanied by posterior fossa hemorrhage. We now report upon two such cases and discuss the differential diagnosis and imaging findings.
METHODS
A 36-year-old man was admitted after experiencing sudden headache.
Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) are rare lesions. The most common locations of DAVFs are cavernous, sigmoid and transverse sinuses. Anterior cranial fossa is one of the less frequent placement for DAVFs and the risk of hemorrhage in this region is increased. Reported hemorrhage risks have been
To investigate the incidence, risk factors, clinical manifestations and prognosis of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in children with hemophilia A in a center of China, we conducted a retrospective analysis of 126 children with hemophilia A at our hospital in recent 4 years. Thirty-six children with
Five of 34 hemophiliac children suffered from nine episodes of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) from hemophilia A, and another 3 were B hemophiliacs. Diagnoses were confirmed by computed tomographic scan in all nine episodes. The ages of the patients with ICH ranged from 3 months to 4 1/2 years. The
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) complicated by an intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in a child with a previously undiagnosed arteriovenous malformation.
METHODS
We describe a child with known ITP who developed a severe headache, was evaluated in an emergency
