OBJECTIVE Despite a hemorrhagic presentation, many patients with arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) do not require emergency resection. The timing of definitive management is standardized in the cerebrovascular community. This study was designed to evaluate safety delaying AVM treatment clinically stable new presentation. authors examined rate rehemorrhage or neurological decline cohort ruptured brain AVMs during period time posthemorrhage. METHODS Patients presenting authors’ institution...
Introduction Thromboembolic events are the primary complications encountered during endovascular treatment (EVT) of intracranial aneurysms. Intraprocedural heparinization is common EVT but less post-procedure. The safety following unknown, especially for ruptured Materials and methods records 138 consecutive patients at our institution from 1 January 2000 to 30 June 2007 who were treated with 140 aneurysms reviewed. All low dose intravenous heparin post-procedure 24 h as per departmental...
Abstract BACKGROUND The classic percutaneous technique used to cannulate the foramen ovale for treatment of trigeminal neuralgia can place important anatomic structures, such as distal cervical internal carotid artery, at risk. OBJECTIVE To use fixed landmarks safely and reliably locate on anteroposterior (AP) fluoroscopy. METHODS Locating was initially tested using AP fluoroscopy cadaveric skulls in neurosurgical simulation lab. Fluoroscopic were identified utilized assist successfully...
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare thought to be of mesenchymal origin. Even though intracranial, especially intraventricular, SFTs rare, this diagnosis should considered in the differential for intraventricular lesions. Here, report case a female her 60s who underwent non-contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging scan brain new-onset memory issues and headache which revealed well-circumscribed lesion right lateral ventricle with vasogenic edema, trapping temporal horn, subfalcine...
The ventricular migration of vitreous silicone oil (SiO) is rare and can easily be mistaken for intraventricular hemorrhage or a ruptured colloid cyst. We report here the case an adult male who was misdiagnosed with cyst subsequently found to have SiO. A 57-year-old presented unresponsive following respiratory arrest underwent head computed tomography (CT) scan that demonstrated multiple ovoid hyperdensities in system, which concerning He transferred our institution neurosurgical evaluation....
INTRODUCTION: Emergent surgery on a ruptured brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is indicated for large hematoma in an acutely deteriorating patient. The majority of AVMs, however, present clinically stable patients with neurological deficits. Controversy exists respect to the timing treatment AVMs these patients. This study aims determine safety delaying AVM by investigating rate rehemorrhage cohort AVMs. METHODS: Patients presenting our institution from January 2000 December 2015...
Traumatic brain injury is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in adults can be associated with severe secondary complications, including post-traumatic cerebral infarction. One potential infarction fat embolism syndrome (FES). We present case which male his twenties was involved motorcycle collision truck. He sustained numerous injuries, bilateral femur fractures, left acetabular, open tibial fibular type A aortic dissection. Before orthopedic fixation, Glasgow Coma Score (GCS)...
Spinal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SSAH) is a rare condition that can cause spinal cord or nerve root compression and permanent neurologic damage. The reported etiologies include trauma, vascular malformations aneurysms, coagulopathies, neoplasms, autoimmune disease, spontaneous hemorrhage. If there evidence of deterioration, it commonly managed as surgical emergency, but cases conservative management have also been reported. In this case series, we present three patients who suffered from...
Introduction Decompression of the optic nerve within canal is indicated for compressive visual decline. The two most common approaches utilized decompression are a medial approach with an endoscopic endonasal and lateral craniotomy. Our study cadaveric anatomical comparing length circumference orbit decompressed via versus frontotemporal Methods Five specimens were utilized. Predissection computed tomography (CT) scans performed on each specimen. On specimen, standard craniotomy anterior...
Tethered cord syndrome (TCS) is a clinical diagnosis that can be difficult to establish, as symptoms do not always match classic radiological findings, such low-lying conus. Surgery for spinal detethering without risk and does result in improvement. Prone magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been described tool assess the mobility of spine. This technical report where prone was factor influenced decision defer surgery favor conservative management. T1 T2 sagittal axial MRI were obtained with...
INTRODUCTION: Diminished bone mineral density (BMD) places patients at increased risk for complications from lumbar fusion procedures. Dual-energy X-Ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scanners have been used as the gold standard in measuring BMD. More recently, various studies suggested that Hounsfield unit measurements computed tomography (CT) scans may be more accurate. METHODS: After obtaining IRB approval, we retrospectively reviewed all aged 18 and older who underwent procedures between...
Abstract Dental injection needle migration is a rare complication of orthodontal procedures. When these needles fracture, they typically dislodge into the cervical space or facial musculature. Migration cranial vault difficult because obstacle created by skull base. We report case intracranial an anesthetic through foramen ovale. A 59-yr-old man underwent extraction right maxillary molar. The distal end 25-gauge broke his pterygoid musculature, causing him pain while chewing. Vascular...
Biplane fluoroscopy in a hybrid operating room (OR) is commonly used for neuroendovascular and open/endovascular cases. The image quality far superior to most C-arm machines the regular OR. This advantage can be particularly useful upper mid-thoracic percutaneous screw placement because visualization OR suboptimal due shoulders absorbing majority of photons on lateral fluoroscopy. A 31-year-old man was ejected following motor vehicle accident sustained T7 burst fracture with anterior...
