OBJECTIVE
Coma and anisocoria are the two common signs of a crucial state of neurological dysfunction. The ability to forecast the occurrence of these conditions would help clinicians make clinical risk assessments and decisions.
METHODS
From October 2006 to September 2008, 118 patients with
BACKGROUND
ITP can give rise to bleeding episodes in different parts of the body including the central nervous system with various systemic manifestations.
METHODS
An eight-year old female child, diagnosed as a case of chronic ITP for last two years, developed intense headache and vomiting for a few
The traumatic intracranial haemorrhage still remains a serious complication of instrumental deliveries with an uncertain prognosis. Regarding tentorial haemorrhage, surprisingly few clinical neurological data are available. Most of the references in literature are older case reports, associated
BACKGROUND
The intraparenchymal supratentorial hemorrhages after interventions of the posterior fossa is a very rare complication, with very little literature and its precise incidence is unknown (range of 0.4-1.6%). It possesses potentially an etiology diverse from that associated with other
As part of a correlative study of the neuro-ophthalmological abnormalities in thalamic haemorrhage, we report preliminary findings in six patients with this condition diagnosed by clinical and CT brain examinations. Five patients were middle-aged and hypertensive. Two had Horner's syndrome, and
A 32-year-old woman, gravida 0, para 0, was admitted to the obstetrics department of our hospital after a cesarean section at 35 weeks of gestation. The cesarean section was performed because pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) had worsened. The next day, she suddenly became drowsy and developed
A 67-year-old male patient presented with disturbance of consciousness, anisocoria, and right hemiparesis. Computed tomography (CT) scans demonstrated a large putaminal hemorrhage on the left. An emergent operation was performed and the hematoma was removed. Postoperative magnetic resonance
A previously healthy 30-day-old girl presented with seizures, irritability and inability to sleep for three days. Vitamin K was not given just after birth. She was lethargic. A multifocal clonic seizure was evident during examination. Anisocoria was diagnosed on eye examination. Brain magnetic
A retrospective study is presented of the clinical features and outcome of late onset haemorrhagic disease due to vitamin K deficiency in 11 babies who were admitted to the emergency or child neurology unit during a 4-year period (January 1994-December 1997). The disease occurred in infants between
BACKGROUND
The superior sagittal sinus (SSS) and transverse sinus are the major dural sinuses that receive a considerable amount of venous drainage. The occlusion of them has been suggested to cause intracranial hypertension, hemorrhage, and lead to potentially fatal consequences.

We
BACKGROUND
Measurement of static pupillary size in the ICU is of importance in cases of acutely expanding intracranial mass lesions. The inaccuracies with subjective assessment of pupillary size by medical personnel preclude its use in emergent neurological situations.
OBJECTIVE
To determine if the
A sign of descending tentorial herniation (DTH) on computed tomography (CT) in 48 patients with putamenal hemorrhage was examined in the acute stage. Correlation between the DTH sign and prognosis for survival was studied in two groups; a conservative group and an operative group. Patients were
BACKGROUND
Acute stroke codes may be activated for anisocoria, but how often these codes lead to a final stroke diagnosis or alteplase treatment is unknown. The purpose of this study was to assess the frequency of anisocoria in stroke codes that ultimately resulted in alteplase
Hemorrhagic complications of acute leukemia are well described and are a common cause of mortality in these patients. However, to our knowledge, fatal intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) as an initial presentation of acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) has only been reported once. We report a case of
Dengue fever has been a major cause of morbidity and mortality in subtropical and tropical countries. We report a rare case of severe dengue with spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage. A search of literature through PubMed revealed that the largest series analyzed so far only included five cases. A
