Background. Pituitary apoplexy (PA) is a clinical syndrome caused by acute ischemic infarction or hemorrhage of the pituitary gland. The typical clinical presentation of PA includes acute onset of severe headache, visual disturbance, cranial nerve palsy, and altered level of consciousness. Case
Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) may represent the clinical onset of malignancies or complicate their course, also in phase of quiescence. In literature, there are several case reports on the association between CVT and tumors, but there are few articles on its clinical characteristics in cancer
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the nature of prodromal headache in anti-NMDA receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis.
METHODS
Retrospective review of the clinical information of 39 patients with anti-NMDAR encephalitis admitted between January 1999 and September 2017. Five patients with an atypical presentation
We report 3 cases of spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) associated with consciousness disorder and coma. In patients, SIH was suspected on a computed tomography scan and diagnosed by cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Spinal MRI confirmed cerebrospinal fluid leakage. SIH should be
Due to their localisations and symptoms, interhemispheric subdural haematomas (ISH) compose a distinct category. Altered level of consciousness and hemiparesis are the most frequent symptoms. We report a case of ISH who presented with headache as the sole complaint. Left cerebellar haematoma and ISH
To ensure good outcomes in the management of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), accurate prediction is crucial for initial assessment of patients presenting with acute headache. We conducted this study to develop a new clinical decision rule using only objectively measurable predictors to exclude SAH,
Headaches in pregnancy are a frequent cause of worry for both patients and healthcare providers. Physiological changes during this period increase the risk of a number of secondary headache disorders, and often also have an impact on primary headache disorders. This article reviews BACKGROUND
Decreased level of consciousness is a rare neurological manifestation of spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH), which typically presents with orthostatic headache. The optimal management of this uncommon presentation remains uncertain.
METHODS
We analyzed the presentation, management
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a syndrome of low pressure headache associated with low CSF pressure. The condition is generally considered benign but extreme cases of SIH can lead to changes in the level of consciousness. We describe a case in which alteration in the level of
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a syndrome of low pressure headache associated with low CSF pressure. The condition is generally considered benign but extreme cases of SIH can lead to changes in the level of consciousness. We describe a case in which alteration in the level of
Fourty epileptic and 66 migraine patients were examined. The differences in clinical features of headache paroxysms, consciousness disorders, psycho-sensory++, viscero-autonomic++ and affective spells were determined. The elements of confused consciousness, short-lived and local autonomic responses
We describe a patient with pneumocephalus following an epidural steroid injection (ESI) who presented with altered mental status, headache, focal neurologic findings and seizures. Pneumocephalus has rarely been described following ESI. A 34-year-old female presented with an altered level of
OBJECTIVE
Desmopressin has been used extensively for primary nocturnal enuresis and it is associated with a low incidence of adverse effects. The only reported serious side effect is seizure or altered levels of consciousness resulting from water intoxication, which has been reported for the nasal
A 36-year-old woman who had been diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was admitted to our hospital due to increasing disease SLE activity. Despite the intensification of immunosuppressive treatment, headache newly developed and worsened. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed spreading of
