We report the case of a 4.9-year-old boy with congenital hydrocephalus and obstruction of his shunt who just after the induction of anaesthesia suddenly developed generalized muscle rigidity that made intubation impossible. Because of temporary mydriasis the situation could hardly be differentiated
Conscious, unrestrained cats given multiple injections of sodium arachidonate into a lateral cerebral ventricle responded with prolonged increases in both temperature. Development of tolerance was indicated by a gradual reduction in the response to successive doses. Cross-tolerance developed to
Described is a patient with hydrocephalus and a gait disorder with associated prolonged fever and hyponatremia. The authors made a diagnosis of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) and performed a ventriculoperitoneal shunt, which improved the gait disturbance, accompanied by resolution of the fever
OBJECTIVE
Fever after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is associated with poor outcome. Because hydrocephalus and extravasated blood may influence thermoregulation, we determined whether these factors increase the risk for fever after subarachnoid hemorrhage.
METHODS
Fever within 14 days
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the management experience with transnasal endoscopic technique for meningoencephalocele.
METHODS
Nine patients with endonasal encephalomeningocele were managed by transnasal endoscopic surgery, and the skull base defect was repaired by fascia.
RESULTS
Eight cases were
Intracranial hemorrhage carries significant morbidity and mortality, particularly if associated with hydrocephalus. Management of hydrocephalus includes temporary external ventricular drainage, with or without shunting. Thalamic location is an independent predictor of mortality and The purpose of this study was to systematically assess and synthesize the world literature on risk factors for the onset and natural progression of hydrocephalus, thereby providing a basis for policy makers to identify appropriate risk management measures to mitigate the burden of disease in Canada.
BACKGROUND
In clinical practice, hyponatraemia was frequently found in patients with hydrocephalus. We conducted this study to determine the prevalence and risk factors for hyponatraemia in patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH).
METHODS
We retrospectively reviewed all patients with NPH
A 28-year old male was admitted to Musashino Red Cross Hospital on June 21, 1975, because of symptoms of increased intracranial pressure and cerebellar dysfunction. Thirteen months prior to admission he had a mild fever, tremor of right arm, headache, nausea and unsteady gait, but made a gradual
OBJECTIVE
Endoscopic third ventriculostomy is becoming routine among neurosurgical pediatric procedures. However, reports on anesthesia for children undergoing such procedures are rare. The aim of this series of cases was to demonstrate the precautions that should be taken and efficacy of the method
BACKGROUND
Chronic hydrocephalus after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a major complication that leads to a medical burden and poor clinical outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive factors of shunt-dependent hydrocephalus focusing on postoperative fever and
Human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) is a common virus that can cause nearly universal infection in infancy and early childhood. It typically manifests as an acute febrile illness. We describe a case of a premature infant with congenital hydrocephalus secondary to aqueductal stenosis with a
OBJECTIVE
To explore the complications of endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) for hydrocephalus and examine their preventions.
METHODS
From September 2008 to September 2013, ETV was offered for obstructive hydrocephalus (n=15) and communicating hydrocephalus (n=5). And the prevention and
