A Model of Pulsations in Communicating Hydrocephalus Tập 36 Số 6 - Trang 281-303 - 2002
Michael Egnor, Lili Zheng, Arthur Rosiello, Fred Gutman, Raphael P. Davis
The traditional theory of communicating hydrocephalus has implicated the bulk flow component of CSF motion; that is, hydrocephalus is generally understood as an imbalance between CSF formation and absorption. The theory that the cause of communicating hydrocephalus is malabsorption of CSF at the arachnoid villi is not substantiated by experimental evidence or by physical reasoning. Flow-se...... hiện toàn bộ Head Injury in the Infant and Toddler Tập 11 Số 1 - Trang 12-35 - 1984
Anthony J. Raimondi, Jeffrey Hirschauer
This is a retrospective review of all closed-head injured children, ages 1–36 months, admitted to the Children’s Memorial Hospital from 1959 to 1978. Injuries ranged from trivial to those producing deep coma. A coma scoring system (to correlate level of consciousness with age and outcome) was devised. Lateralizing neurological signs, fontanelle status, retinal hemorrhages, seizures, and sk...... hiện toàn bộ Toward a Simpler Surgical Management of Chiari I Malformation in a Pediatric Population Tập 30 Số 3 - Trang 113-121 - 1999
Mark D. Krieger, J. Gordon McComb, Michael L. Levy
A wide variety of surgical adjuvants to the standard bony decompression have been advocated in the treatment of the Chiari I malformation, especially when the tonsillar herniation is associated with hydrosyringomyelia. These include various shunting procedures, duroplasty, obex plugging, and resection of the cerebellar tonsils. Our practice has been to avoid these adjuvants and to perform ...... hiện toàn bộ Anterior Encephaloceles: A Study of 92 Cases Tập 36 Số 3 - Trang 113-118 - 2002
Ashok Kumar Mahapatra, Amit Suri
Anterior encephalocele is a rare condition, and only a few large series have been published in the literature. Surprisingly, the incidence is much higher in Southeast Asian countries, including some parts of India. While the reported incidence in the West is between 1:35,000 and 1:40,000 live births, it is as high as 1:5,000 live births in Thailand. We present a series comprising 92 cases ...... hiện toàn bộ Management of Hydrocephalus in Children with Posterior Fossa Tumors: Role of Tumor Surgery Tập 43 Số 2 - Trang 92-96 - 2007
Bernt Johan Due‐Tønnessen, Eirik Helseth
<i>Objective:</i> The majority of children with posterior fossa tumors have hydrocephalus (HC) at the time of presentation. There is no consensus regarding the management of HC in these children. Here, we report the rate of cure of HC with tumor surgery alone. <i>Patients and Methods:</i> This is a retrospective study of 87 children with posterior fossa tumors in wh...... hiện toàn bộ Fetal MRI in the Evaluation of Intrauterine Myelomeningocele Tập 32 Số 3 - Trang 124-131 - 2000
Kyle J. Mangels, Noel Tulipan, Leland Y. Tsao, John Alarcon, Joseph P. Bruner
<i>Background:</i> Accurate fetal imaging is essential to the practice of maternal-fetal medicine. While ultrasonography has been the traditional mainstay of fetal imaging, its ability to resolve critical features of central nervous system (CNS) anatomy remains limited. As interest in intrauterine therapy for myelomeningocele has increased, so has the need for more accurate, no...... hiện toàn bộ Failed Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy in Children: Management Options Tập 37 Số 6 - Trang 304-309 - 2002
Aaron Mohanty, M.K. Vasudev, Sharadh Sampath, S. Radhesh, V. R. Sastry Kolluri
Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) for obstructive hydrocephalus has a failure rate of 20–50% in various series. The present study analyzes ETV failures in 72 patients over a 2-year period and attempts to outline a management plan. Of the 72 patients who underwent ETV, it failed in 13. Seven of these failures occurred within 1 month, and in 5 others, ETV failed after 1–2 months. Anothe...... hiện toàn bộ Pediatric Temporal Lobectomy for Epilepsy Tập 38 Số 4 - Trang 195-205 - 2003

<i>Background:</i> Temporal lobectomy in adults is an accepted form of treatment for patients with intractable complex partial seizures. There have been few long-term studies of children undergoing temporal lobectomy for epilepsy. <i>Methods:</i> We reviewed the pediatric cases of temporal lobectomy for intractable epilepsy performed by the Comprehensive Epilepsy Pr...... hiện toàn bộ
