This study compared the results of neurodevelopmental examination at 6 months' corrected age of premature infants with neonatal seizures and/or intracranial hemorrhage and normal premature infants. There was a statistically significant correlation (p=0.000007) between intracranial hemorrhage and
OBJECTIVE
To determine the prevalence of acute symptomatic seizures in infants with supratentorial intracranial hemorrhage, to identify potential risk factors, and to determine the effect of acute seizures on long-term morbidity and mortality.
METHODS
Children less than 24 months with intracranial
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
Seizure is the second most common neurologic complication after liver transplantation and may be caused by metabolic abnormalities, electrolyte imbalance, infection, and immunosuppressant toxicity. A 61-year-old male patient underwent liver transplantation due to hepatitis B virus-related liver
OBJECTIVE
Seizure prophylaxis is used in a variety of conditions, including supratentorial intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). In adults, studies have demonstrated phenytoin as the drug of choice for seizure prophylaxis; in children, levetiracetam is often provided due to its favorable side effect
We reviewed the records of all patients with recurrent seizures and severe head injury-induced traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (TIH) between 1989 and 2003 in three Israeli medical centers. We identified 52 cases (44 males, mean age=43+/-19 years, range=8-84; 8 females; mean age=74+/-12 years,
A 30-year-old man presented to the emergency department of another institution with recurrent episodes of generalized tonic-clonic seizures. He was found to be hypocalcemic and was treated with an intravenous infusion of calcium followed by Dilantin. A computed tomography scan of the head was
Seizures occurred in 15% of patients with parenchymal brain hemorrhage (early in 12% and delayed in 3%). Seizures were most frequent with lobar hemorrhages and uncommon with deep subcortical hemorrhages. Lobar hemorrhages in the frontal, parietal, or temporal region were more commonly associated
BACKGROUND
In Japan, the number of hemodialysis patients increases every year, along with the average age of this patient population. Further, certain complications of hemodialysis make the care of traumatic head injury(THI)patients particularly difficult.
OBJECTIVE
This study was aimed at
Reported is a patient who noted decreased fetal movements after a seizure at 32 weeks' gestation. Sonography revealed fetal death and findings consistent with an intraventricular hemorrhage. The possible explanations for and the significance of an association between a maternal seizure and fetal
Two preeclamptic parturients, who presented with generalized seizure, underwent emergency cesarean section without confirmed diagnosis. They developed focal neurological signs postoperatively, and were subsequently diagnosed as subarachnoid hemorrhage due to rupture of an intracranial aneurysm and
L-Asparaginase is commonly used for induction therapy of acute lymphocytic leukemia of childhood. Severe clinical bleeding secondary to clotting dysfunction has not been previously reported. We observed intracranial hemorrhagic infarcts with focal seizures and hemiparesis associated with clotting
