This case report describes a pregnant woman of gestational week 37 + 2 days who was admitted to the hospital with first-time seizures. The patient was stabilized, and an acute caesarian section was performed due to the possible aetiology of eclampsia and the advanced gestational age. Because of the
A 17-year-old male patient presented to the emergency department (ED) with seizures after sexual intercourse. The patient was found to have an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) likely secondary to sexual intercourse and concomitant amphetamine use, an extremely rare finding in this patient population.
OBJECTIVE
The impact of seizures on outcomes in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is not well understood, with conflicting results published in the literature.
METHODS
For this retrospective cohort analysis, data from the Nationwide Inpatient Samples (NIS) for 2006-2011 were utilized. All
To provide updated information on seizure events and patterns in patients with angiogram-negative subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) based on the initial hemorrhage patterns: perimesencephalic SAH (PMH) versus non-PMH.A review of online database literature from The association between impaired brain perfusion, cerebrovascular reactivity status and the risk of ictal events in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage is unknown. We identified 13 subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patients with seizures and 22 with ictal-interictal continuum (IIC), and compared
The records of 100 consecutive cases of subarachnoid hemorrhage due to ruptured aneurysm were reviewed to determine the incidence and the prognostic implications of seizures during the acute phase. Seizures occurred in 26% of the patients. Sixty-three per cent of the seizures occurred near the onset
A case is described of a 25-year-old primigravida who sustained a transient seizure following the administration of an epidural bolus of local anaesthetic. She had previously complained of a headache, and 3 days after caesarean section, died from subarachnoid haemorrhage. This case report highlights
BACKGROUND
Subarachnoid haemorrhage may result in seizures both acutely and in the longer term. The use of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) in the primary and secondary prevention of seizures after subarachnoid haemorrhage is uncertain, and there is currently no consensus on treatment.
OBJECTIVE
To assess
Symptomatic epileptic seizures are an important complication in subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) with a frequency of 0.9-25% with importance for patient outcome. The majority of previous studies investigated the incidence of symptomatic epileptic seizures after aneurysmatic SAH. Here we The authors report a case of convulsion during intra-arterial selective infusion of fasudil hydrochloride (FSD) for treatment of vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). A 47-year-old man (Hunt and Kosnik grade I) presented with sudden onset of headache and was diagnosed with SAH on CT,
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether onset seizures after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) carry independent prognostic information and to investigate the risk factors for late seizures after SAH.
BACKGROUND
Modern management of SAH, including early operation, has substantially reduced mortality. No study
BACKGROUND
To investigate the frequency, predictors, and clinical impact of electrographic seizures in patients with high clinical or radiologic grade non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), independent of referral bias.
METHODS
We compared rates of electrographic seizures and associated
OBJECTIVE
Seizures are important neurologic complications of spontaneous aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). A better understanding of the risk factors of seizures following aneurysmal SAH is needed to predict those who will require treatment.
METHODS
A total of 137 adult patients were
A case is presented of convulsions, subarachnoid haemorrhage and death following the use of meglumine iothalamate 280 for myelography. The patient was suffering from sciatica but had no pre-existing symptoms of other neurological disease. This case dramatically illustrates the dangers inherent in
BACKGROUND
Although arteriovenous malformations (AVM)-related intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is infrequently devastating, there is a subgroup of patients that present comatose requiring immediate surgical treatment. We sought to determine the outcome and prognostic factors in those patients with
