craniosynostoses/nausea

BACKGROUND The authors' center uses a nonnarcotic postoperative regimen following craniosynostosis corrections. Despite opioid avoidance, the authors noted that some children still experienced nausea and vomiting following the oral administration of either acetaminophen or ibuprofen. This study

In this paper we report the autopsy findings of a 7 year old girl who presented with headache, nausea and repeated vomiting and died unexpectedly at home. She had no previous history of major illnesses and no history of epileptic seizures. External examination revealed ocular abnormalities. Internal

BACKGROUND Most craniosynostosis cases are treated by cranial expansion before 1 year of age. Occasionally, patients present at a later age with nonspecific symptoms of increased intracranial pressure. The purpose of this study was to review the symptoms of patients undergoing late cranial vault

OBJECTIVE Craniosynostosis surgery is considered a very painful procedure due to extended scalp and periosteal detachment, and is associated with prolonged postoperative consumption of opioids and their side effects. In this observational descriptive case series study, we investigated perioperative

Pediatric craniofacial reconstruction surgery is associated with significant perioperative analgesic requirements. As dexmedetomidine mediates central nervous system sympathetic activity and pain modulation, its intraoperative use could be beneficial in craniofacial surgery. We hypothesized that

BACKGROUND We have reported casuistic observations that intracranial pressure (ICP) waveform analysis may be useful in the management of pediatric patients. METHODS We here report our whole patient material of 65 children undergoing ICP monitoring with storage of their ICP raw data files during the
