BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to describe pneumocephalus as a rare complication of stereotactic biopsy and as a possible cause of acute neurogenic pulmonary edema.
METHODS
A case of frameless stereotactic biopsy complicated by pneumocephalus presenting with acute lung injury 48 hours after
The study aimed to describe a patient with multiple skull bone fractures and a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak who received hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). A 40-year-old man presented with subdural hemorrhage, skull bone fractures, facial bone fractures, sinus fractures, and CSF leakage after a
Clostridium septicum infection following hemolytic uremic syndrome is rare and carries a poor prognosis, especially when the brain is involved. We report a case of a previously healthy 2-year-old boy who presented with two days of anuria and bloody diarrhea. He was admitted to the local children's
The study aim was to analyze our own experience in treating patients with complex skull base defects accompanied by pneumocephalus and, based on the findings, to develop an optimal treatment approach for this pathology.We retrospectively reviewed a series Pneumocephalus is commonly seen after head and facial trauma, tumors of the skull base, after neurosurgery or otorhinolaryngology, and rarely spontaneously. Venous air embolism can result from right-to-left shunting or pneumocephalus. We report two cases of pneumocephalus, one after surgery of the
Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes), an indolent and slow-growing anaerobic gram-positive bacterium, has largely been known as a commensal organism of the normal skin flora. However, P. acnes is increasingly being recognized as the causative infectious organism complicating craniotomies and shunt
BACKGROUND
Spontaneous pneumocephalus in the nontraumatic setting is distinctly unusual. Pneumocephalus from central nervous system infection with Clostridium septicum has been rarely reported, and more commonly reflects a later stage of abscess formation. We present an unusual case of invasive C.
We report an unusual case of a young male patient who presented with severe pain and swelling of his left eyelid following an air compressor tip accident. He suffered extensive facial edema accompanied by deep tissue emphysema and an elevated intraocular pressure. On noncontrast CT scan, air was
A 61-year-old man with critical aortic stenosis underwent aortic valve replacement. Mechanical ventilation was applied because of postoperative acute pulmonary edema accompanied by poor ventilation and poor oxygenation, and the patient was also recannulized to an extracorporeal membranous
Burr hole drainage has been widely used to treat chronic subdural hematomas (SDH), and most of them are easily treated by simple trephination and drainage. However, various complications, such as, hematoma recurrence, infection, seizure, cerebral edema, tension pneumocephalus and failure of the
In review of 1544 patients with both head computed tomography (CT) examinations and skull radiographs, 150 patients were found to have a history of acute head trauma. Twenty-nine of these patients had sphenoid sinus effusions. Ninety-three percent (27/29) of those cases had abnormal CT examinations,
The goal of this work was to determine the craniofacial injury patterns in hospitalized patients to facilitate the awareness, by identifying, describing and quantifying trauma for use in planning and evaluation of preventive programs. Two-hundred and fifty five patients with craniofacial injuries
OBJECTIVE
The optimal management of patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate technical results and clinical outcomes of frameless stereotactic aspiration and fibrinolysis using urokinase performed in a single
Background: Superior laryngeal nerve block (SUPLANEB) is a popular airway anesthesia technique utilized for successful awake endotracheal intubation in patients with significant cervical spine instability. If not performed by an expert,
