Pichler Hefti, Jacqueline, Philipp Hoigné-Perret, and Raimund Kottke. Extensive microhemorrhages of the cerebellar peduncles after high-altitude cerebral edema. High Alt Med Biol. 18:182-184, 2017.-Neuromagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of subjects who suffered from high-altitude cerebral edema
Two once-daily electroconvulsive shocks (ECS) produced retrograde amnesia in rats trained on a Hebb-Williams maze; Verapamil (12.5 mg/kg, i.p.) or felodipine (10 mg/kg, p.o.) administered half an hour before each ECS attenuated this ECS-induced amnesia. Hence, these drugs may hold promise for the
Transient global amnesia (TGA) has been proposed as a possible adverse effect of sildenafil. There are rare cases in the literature, but none had strong evidence to support. Our case is the first to demonstrate a focal punctate diffusion-weighted imaging lesion at the right hippocampus after the use
A previously healthy 42-year-old woman developed severe dyspnea, chest discomfort, and malaise several hours after prolonged exposure to concentrated vapors from mineral spirits. On the way to the hospital, she sustained a cardiopulmonary arrest; on arrival several minutes later, she was found to be
Inhibition of sodium-potassium adenosine 5'-triphosphatase ((Na(+), K(+))-ATPase) activity causes edema and cell death in the central nervous system, and impairment of learning and memory. Several sex steroid hormones have a protective effect against neuronal cell damage and the hypofunction of
Anterograde amnesia is a severely disabling state which has been reported as a consequence of bilateral mesiotemporal lesions in humans. In the present paper, recurrent epileptic seizures after temporal lobectomy are described as a rare cause of severe amnesia in two patients. Diffusion-weighted MRI
A newly advanced MRI pulse sequence, the FLAIR (fluid-attenuated inversion recovery) imaging, in which a long TE spin echo sequence is used with suppression of the CSF with an inversion pulse, displays the CSF space as a no signal intensity area. We examined 45 cases of mild head trauma with
Patients who have a pineal germinoma usually present with symptoms of intracranial hypertension or disturbances in vertical ocular motion but rarely present with amnesia. We recently encountered a case of pineal germinoma accompanied by severe amnesia, but not by hydrocephalus. A 32-year-old,
We reported a patient with sudden onset seizure resulting in prolonged amnesia. MRI revealed a T2 high signal lesion with swelling in the right medial temporal lobe. Because the MRI lesion remained to be the same in size for two months, biopsy specimens were obtained under informed consent to rule
We report a case of transient aphasia and persistent amnesia after clipping of a ruptured cerebral aneurysm to treat a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Postoperatively, aphasia was identified and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed an abnormal intensity area in the left anterior thalamus. Single photon
Prompted by the findings of previous studies with positron emission tomography and single photon emission computed tomography, which demonstrated hypoperfusion or hyperperfusion in the left temporal lobe in isolated patients with transient global amnesia (TGA), we compared the sensitivity of
Objective An abnormal high intensity area (HIA) on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) indicates the presence of cytotoxic edema and has been reported to be observed in the hippocampus of patients with transient global amnesia (TGA). The appearance of an HIA on DWI is usually delayed after the onset of
Preclinical and clinical evidence show that electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)-induced intraictal surge in blood pressure may result in a small, transient breach in the blood-brain barrier, leading to mild cerebral edema and a possible leach of noxious substances from blood into brain tissues. These
A previously healthy 15-year-old boy initially diagnosed to have acute psychotic reaction had a history of a single generalized seizure and prolonged amnestic states of varying intensity and duration. An ictal electroencephalogram (EEG) showed bitemporal ictal discharges starting from the left side.
BACKGROUND
The ability to discriminate among a large number of patients with mild head injury to detect those most likely to have an intracranial abnormality may offer an advantage in mass-casualty situations and when clinical needs exceed diagnostic capabilities.
OBJECTIVE
In patients with mild
