ABSTRACT Aims: To study the clinicoradiological features and treatment outcomes of atlantoaxial dislocation (AAD) in Down syndrome. Settings Design: Retrospective case series. Subjects Methods: A retrospective chart radiology review 9 syndrome patients with AAD managed at our center from 2007 to 2018. Statistical Analysis Used: Chi-squared/Fisher’s exact test. Results: There were 4 males 5 females (n = 9). The median age was 14 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 7–15.5). 77.7% (7/9) had...
A 29-year-old male admitted with severe traumatic brain injury following a road traffic accident was sedated and ventilated uneventfully for 72 h. On the fourth posttrauma day, after stopping sedation to assess readiness extubation, he developed sudden onset desaturation; arterial blood gas showed diffusion defect very low PaO2/FiO2 ratio an episode of generalized tonic-clonic seizure. The differential diagnoses further management are discussed.
Lumbar pedicle screw insertion involves a steep learning curve for novice spine surgeons and requires image guidance or navigation. Small volume centers may be handicapped by the lack of cost-effective user-friendly tools preoperative planning, guidance, decision making.We describe patient-specific interactive software module, simulator (PSS), virtual planning to determine entry point visualize trajectories screws.The PSS was coded in Python use an open source processing software, 3D Slicer....
Though frontal lobe contusion is a major cause for morbidity and prolonged hospitalization following excision of anterior skull base meningiomas, there only limited literature on this complication. This study aimed to find out the incidence postoperative contusion, identify risk factors its development impact early outcome.Data from 110 patients who underwent meningiomas through unilateral supraorbital craniotomy 2001 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The analyzed tumor location, size,...
Colloid cysts are the most common benign neoplasms of anterior third ventricle, mostly located at level foramen Monro and can often manifest as sudden onset headache or loss consciousness. These have a well-defined cyst wall, mucinous watery intracystic fluid fairly good plane with surrounding parenchyma. Occasionally, haemorrhage lead to xanthogranulomatous inflammatory changes within resulting in focal thickening wall adhesion structures. Here we describe case colloid which is very rare...
Neurobrucellosis is a rare complication of brucella infection which presents as meningitis, meningoencephalitis, subdural empyema, brain abscess, myelitis, and radiculo- neuritis. We report the first case neurobrucellosis presenting an infected cerebellopontine cistern epidermoid cyst in young immunocompetent male who presented with fever acute raised intracranial pressure. MRI showed extra-axial mass right angle peripheral rim enhancement diffusion restriction. Emergency surgery unveiled...
Abstract Objective We study the clinical relevance of classifying traumatic brain injury (TBI) into moderate and mild categories based on Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score at admission with respect to treatment intensity 6-month mortality morbidity rates. Methods Analysis patients from a prospectively maintained database admitted level I trauma center 2013 2019 an GCS between 9 15 minimum follow-up 6 months post-TBI was done rates for each 15. Results In all, 2,060 met criteria, which 1,684...
