A case of thoracic spine spasms secondary to a bleeding duodenal ulcer is presented. A 41-year-old male with 14-week history of thoracic spine spasm was treated with bed rest, spinal manipulation, physical therapy, medication, and a thoracolumbar brace. Subsequently, a provocative thoracic discogram
In a retrospective study of 89 patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), the frequency and specificity of changes in the electrocardiogram (ECG) were determined, as well as electrocardiographically established arrhythmias. The ECG changes were correlated with neurological as well as angiographic
In a series of 120 cases of subarachnoid haemorrhage due to ruptured intracranial aneurysm the occurrence of preoperative arterial spasm was found to have no effect upon the clinical outcome. After surgery, generalised arterial spasm was found to lead to an increased probability of fatality, and to
Measurements of the regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) were performed 44 times on patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage, using the 133-Xe clearance method with aid of the 8 channel detector unit. The patients consisted of 31 preoperative cases within 3 weeks of the last subarachnoid hemorrhage. The
Pathogenesis of the so-called "heart attack" still remains to be elucidated. The links between stable effort angina and unstable or acute myocardial infarction, and between asymptomatic and spontaneous angina are all missing. In medicine presently, pathophysiology of ischemic heart disease is
A spasm index, defined as transcranial Doppler detected flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery divided by regional cortical cerebral blood flow (CBF), was used on 24 patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). The aim was to estimate degree and time course of vasospasm, even in cases with
Cerebral arterial spasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage can be responsible for secondary neurological deficits and can influence history, prognosis, and results of surgical treatment. The demonstration of vasospasm can be important for therapy. The use of I-123 HIPDM and SPECT in evaluating
Cerebral artery spasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Treatment or prevention methods are most desirable. Using the basilar artery of the rabbit, cerebral arterial spasm was induced with an injection of 4 ml of autologous blood via cisternal
A group of 20 necropsies of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) were selected because of the known complication of cerebral vasospasm. Evidence for vasospasm was radiological and pathological in 17 cases and pathological alone in 3 cases. A histological examination of the large arteries in areas known
BACKGROUND
There is a lack of unified information on diagnosis and treatment of cerebral vasospasm (CV) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) among the hospitals in Japan. Thus, the aim of the study was to define the current practice in this area based on a survey by Japanese neurosurgeons.

Dengue is an arboviral febrile illness endemic in many tropical and subtropical regions with frequent epidemics. Although most cases are self-limiting, progression into dengue haemorrhagic fever can have dire outcomes. The course can also be complicated by infrequent occurrence of unusual clinical
Neurologic stunned myocardium after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) has been evidenced. Clinical presentations manifested as ST segment elevation by electrocardiography (ECG), left ventricular wall motion abnormality by echocardiography, and abnormal cardiac markers. The pathophysiology remains
Multiregional wide-distribution hemorrhages of the left hemisphere occurred at 1 month of age in a girl with congenital factor V deficiency. At the age of 4 months, symmetrical spasms appeared in clusters and electroencephalography showed diffuse background attenuation in the left side and
Artificial subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) produced by injection of autologous blood into the cisterna magna in dogs gave rise to considerable narrowing or spasm of the basilar artery and its branches, including the posterior cerebral arteries, as demonstrated by cerebral angiography. Repeated
OBJECTIVE
To prospectively determine the accuracy of transcranial color-coded duplex ultrasonography (US) used alone and in conjunction with carotid artery US for diagnosis of middle cerebral artery (MCA) spasm, with intraarterial digital subtraction angiography (DSA) used as the reference
