We describe a fetus with an asymmetric, nonmidline, parietal encephalocele that appeared to result from "expulsion" through the center of the membranous bone; the fetus also had laryngeal atresia, which caused pulmonary overdistension (fetal Valsalva maneuver) with consequent hydrops fetalis. A
Mucormycosis following hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) carries a very high mortality rate. Pulmonary mucormycosis often leads to systemic dissemination and eventual death. It is imperative for transplant providers to have a high level of suspicion for mucormycosis and BACKGROUND
Congenital mediastinal teratomas are rare and may present with nonimmune hydrops. The lesion may be misinterpreted on ultrasound.
METHODS
A 21-year-old woman, gravida 2, para 0111, was evaluated at 19 4/7 weeks of gestation for suspected fetal death. An ultrasonogram confirmed the death
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to compare postmortem computed tomography with forensic autopsy regarding their diagnostic reliability of differentiating between pre-existing cerebral edema and physiological postmortem brain swelling.
METHODS
The study collective included a total of 109
To improve the management of the early neurogenic pulmonary edema(NPE)in patients with non-traumatic cerebral hemorrhage.
Totally 140 eligible patients with non-traumatic cerebral hemorrhage who were treated in the emergency department of our hospital from October 2008 to October 2014 were divided
A 19-year-old woman with a 3-year history of schizophrenia suddenly began to vomit, and rapidly developed a coma an hour after the onset of vomiting. A brain CT scan showed diffuse brain edema with compression of the ventricles. Laboratory tests showed a low serum sodium concentration of 117 mmol/L.
A 30-year-old woman with coexisting renal tubular acidosis and idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), treated with acetazolamide, experienced coning (cerebellar tonsillar herniation) after a lumbar puncture (LP). Brain magnetic resonance imaging at initial diagnosis of IIH showed minor
Cerebral edema resulting in elevated intracranial pressure is a well-known complication of galactosemia. Lumbar puncture was performed for the diagnosis of clinically suspected bacterial meningitis. Herniation of cerebral tissue through the foramen magnum is not a common problem in neonatal
BACKGROUND Traumatic torcular herophili epidural hematoma is a rare and specific type of traumatic brain injury that is technically difficult to treat and, more critically, can lead to malignant encephalocele during the operation. CASE REPORT A 40-year-old man presented to our hospital 2 h after a
BACKGROUND
We report on a patient with hypersomnia who showed injury of the lower ascending reticular activating system (ARAS) following cerebellar herniation due to a cerebellar infarct, detected on diffusion tensor tractography (DTT).
UNASSIGNED
A 53-year-old male patient was diagnosed as a left
OBJECTIVE
To demonstrate a rare but potential mechanism of quadriplegia in a patient with fulminant pneumococcal meningitis complicated by severe intracranial hypertension.
METHODS
Case report.
METHODS
Intensive care unit.
METHODS
A 21-year-old man who presented with 3 days of headache,
We report on a case of achondrogenesis type IA (Houston-Harris) with an occipital encephalocele. Prenatal sonograms revealed polyhydramnios, subgaleal edema, microcephaly, a narrow thorax, pericardial effusion, and a severe short-limbed dwarfism with unossified tubular bones and vertebral bodies.
