OBJECTIVE
To determine the relationship between pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) and acute disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).
METHODS
26 cases with PIH complicated acute DIC were analyzed retrospectively in five hospitals of Xi'an from 1980 to 1997.
RESULTS
(1) In 26 patients with PIH
A male infant delivered to a primipara woman following vacuum applications. He was vigorous at birth, with small caput and scalp bruising. His head was enlarging; he became pale with respiratory distress. Subgaleal hemorrhage (SGH) was suspected. His hematocrit was noted to be 26.2 percent prior to
After an accidental or intentional ingestion of lindane, clinical manifestations of poisoning may include rapid onset of nausea and vomiting, coma, seizures, respiratory failure, and death. While rhabdomyolysis, secondary renal failure, and aplastic anemia have also been reported, coagulopathies
A 39-year-old G2P1001 female presented from an outside hospital following an eclamptic seizure in the setting of HELLP syndrome. This condition was complicated by intrauterine fetal demise and disseminated intravascular coagulation, which required an emergent cesarean section. We report the work-up
Status epilepticus has been associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), but little is known regarding the pathogenesis of this uncommon association. We describe a 41-year-old woman with status epilepticus resulting in death in whom laboratory data demonstrated profound activation
Sympathomimetic drug overdose usually results in hypertensive crises, cardiac arrhythmias, rhabdomyolysis, seizures, and metabolic derangements such as hyperglycemia, acidosis, and electrolyte anomalies. Methamphetamine has fast become an increasing problem in the US with an exponential increase in
A 78-year-old Japanese female was admitted to our hospital because of headache. Trismus, opisthotonus and convulsion appeared in the early morning on the second hospital day. She was diagnosed as tetanus based on these symptoms and the history of trauma on her left hand 6 days ago. A piece of bamboo
Amniotic fluid embolism is a rare syndrome with potentially lethal outcomes. Complications include cardiorespiratory failure, disseminated intra-vascular coagulation, seizures, neurological deficits, and death. A 34-year-old woman had amniotic fluid embolism complicated by paradoxical embolism and
A patient developed disseminated intravascular coagulation with purpura fulminans 1 month after starting Dilantin therapy for a seizure disorder. In addition, the patient developed exfoliative dermatitis, hepatitis, cutaneous vasculitis, and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. She was successfully
Histopathological study on 723 brains from routine necropsies was performed. Ten brains (1.38 percent) were found to have histological lesions of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) with multiple fresh fibrin and/or platelet thrombi in the cerebral microcirculation. Among them, premortem
The reactivity of the central nervous system in the disseminated intravascular coagulation was studied. In this state the action of pentylenetetrazol and thiopental were decreased. Also shortening of tonic phase of electric convulsions was observed. No changes were noted in the contents of
A fatal case of ascending tonic-clonic seizure (ATCS) syndrome resulted from the inadvertent, unrecognized use of a hyperosmolar ionic contrast agent during myelography. The patient presented with lower-extremity myoclonic jerking, agitation, hyperthermia, rhabdomyolysis, and disseminated
N-Methyl-3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDMA), also called "Ecstasy," is a commonly abused psychoactive drug among the American youth. We present the case of a 23-year-old Korean-American woman who presented with seizure, delirium, and rigidity after MDMA ingestion. She was febrile (38.7°C),
Since prediction of long-term seizure outcome using preoperative diagnostic modalities remains suboptimal in epilepsy surgery, we evaluated whether interictal spike frequency measures obtained from extraoperative subdural electrocorticography (ECoG) recording could predict long-term seizure outcome.
