Postoperative nausea and vomiting is a frequent complication of craniotomy. We evaluated the ability of intraoperative IV ondansetron followed by postoperative ondansetron in an orally disintegrating tablet formulation to reduce the frequency and severity of postoperative nausea and vomiting in a
BACKGROUND
Herpes simplex is a common human pathogen that has rare but severe manifestations including encephalitis.
METHODS
A 44-year-old man underwent uneventful resection of an acoustic neuroma. Postoperatively, he developed swinging pyrexia, vomiting, and episodic confusion. Analysis of
BACKGROUND
The primary hypothesis of the study is that acoustic neuroma (AN) surgery and microvascular decompression (MVD) of cranial nerves increase the risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV).
METHODS
We designed a retrospective case-control study matched on age, sex, and year of surgery
In head and neck surgery, peripheral sensory nerves are at risk for traumatic injury. These injuries are known to be peripheral triggers of chronic headaches if left untreated or unrecognised. We report the case of a patient that presented with a severe headache, nausea and emesis of 2 years
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is used to treat acoustic neuromas, but additional information is needed to firmly establish its safety and efficacy. We review our experience over 7 years treating 29 consecutive patients with a modified linear accelerator (linac) SRS system. Between August 1989 and
Forty acoustic neuromas have been removed surgically between 1976 and 1986. The condition was unilateral in 32 and bilateral in four. There were 31 large, four medium and five small tumours. Excision was complete in 16 and incomplete in 24. Of the incomplete removals 14 were subtotal leaving
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the clinicopathological features of multiple mucosal neuromas without multiple endocrine neoplasia type IIB (non-MEN-IIB MMN).
METHODS
Three cases of non-MEN-IIB MMNs were analyzed for the clinical manifestations and histopathological characteristics.
RESULTS
All the 3 cases
Neuroma of the biliary tract is a rare condition thought to be caused by trauma secondary to cholecystectomy. More rare is the occurrence that causes symptomatic biliary obstruction. A 65-year-old woman was hospitalized because of abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and general malaise of 1 to 2
The authors describe acute deterioration in facial and acoustic neuropathies following radiosurgery for acoustic neuromas. In May 1995, a 26-year-old man, who had no evidence of neurofibromatosis Type 2, was treated with gamma knife radiosurgery (GKS; maximum dose 20 Gy and margin dose 14 Gy) for a
The authors describe acute deterioration in facial and acoustic neuropathies following radiosurgery for acoustic neuromas. In May 1995, a 26-year-old man, who had no evidence of neurofibromatosis Type 2, was treated with gamma knife radiosurgery (GKS; maximum dose 20 Gy and margin dose 14 Gy) for a
A 55-year-old man with hearing loss presented with vertigo and vomiting. CT tomography and MRI demonstrated a cerebellopontine angle mass with foci of haemorrhage. An angiomatous tumour, with large abnormal veins adhering to the capsule, was completely removed. Histologically, the tumour was an
Prolonged (several days or repeated) exposure to nitrous oxide (N2O) can cause injury or death. To assess whether relatively prolonged anesthesia with N2O in normal patients might similarly cause untoward effects, we investigated whether the addition of N2O to isoflurane anesthesia caused injury to
A sixty-one year old man was referred with a history of progressive dysphagia, vomiting and weight loss with some back pain. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and biopsies revealed a gastro-oesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. Despite the absence of metastatic disease on computed tomography, positron
BACKGROUND
Trichosporon species may colonize the skin, respiratory tract and gastrointestinal tract of human beings. The yeast is recognized as etiological agent of white piedra, a superficial mycosis. Nevertheless, immunocompromised hosts may develop invasive Trichosporonosis. Central nervous
Nerve sheath tumors are tumors arising from nerve sheaths or which show nerve sheath differentiation. They are divided as benign and malignant. They are associated with Von Recklinghausen syndrome. Characterised by café-au-lait spots, lisch nodules, acoustic neuromas,
