Conservative treatment of an epidural hematoma is not always effective in children. We describe an 8-year-old boy who had been followed up conservatively for 10 days at a local hospital due to acute epidural hematoma. A new CT revealed an expansion of the former hematoma accompanied by a thick hyperdense layer. Because the patient presented with symptoms of elevated intracranial pressure, ...... hiện toàn bộ
Fetal MRI in the Evaluation of Intrauterine MyelomeningocelePediatric Neurosurgery - 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
Anterior Encephaloceles: A Study of 92 CasesPediatric Neurosurgery - 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
Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever: A Rare Presentation as Atypical Acute Subdural HematomaPediatric Neurosurgery - Tập 44 Số 6 - Trang 490-492 - 2008
Rajeev Kumar, Om Prakash, B.S. Sharma
The risk of dengue is increasing due to population migration. It is the most important arboviral infection in the world, with an estimated 100 million cases per year and 2.5 billion people at risk. Generally recovery is the rule, and hemorrhagic complications causing encephalopathy are rare but fatal. We report an unusual case of hemorrhagic encephalopathy in a child with dengue hemorrhagi...... hiện toàn bộ
Management of Hydrocephalus in Children with Posterior Fossa Tumors: Role of Tumor SurgeryPediatric Neurosurgery - 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
Factors Predicting the Need for Cerebrospinal Fluid Diversion following Posterior Fossa Tumor Surgery in ChildrenPediatric Neurosurgery - Tập 48 Số 2 - Trang 93-101 - 2012
Chittur Viswanathan Gopalakrishnan, Amit Dhakoji, Girish Menon, Suresh Nair
<b><i>Background:</i></b> No consensus exists regarding the management of hydrocephalus in children with posterior fossa tumors before, during or after surgery. In the present study we analyze the factors that predispose to persistent hydrocephalus and the need for a postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion procedure. <b><i>Methods:</i><...... hiện toàn bộ
