BACKGROUND Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is not an uncommon complication of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and may be complicated by cerebral edema. Hemodialysis (HD) may induce rapid osmolar and fluid shifts, increasing brain water content with the potential to worsen cerebral edema. The dangers

Our previous study demonstrated that p53 plays an orchestrating role in the vasospasm and apoptotic cell death after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We now hypothesize that p53 also plays an important role in brain edema by up-regulating the expression of MMP-9 via the NF-kappaB molecular signaling

Acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy is a benign rare presentation of leukocytoclastic vasculitis that affects children between 4 and 24 months of age. It usually involves the distal extremities, face, and ears. We report an atypical presentation of AHEI in a 1 year 5 months old boy starting initially

Early hematoma enlargement and delayed clot lysis contribute to brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We investigated hematoma growth, clot lysis, and brain edema formation in patients with spontaneous ICH. A total of 17 spontaneous ICH patients who received regular medication were

OBJECTIVE Severe neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) can occur in a variety of brain insults, including subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and severe case of NPE can cause devastating consequences. But the literature on the treatment strategy about aneurysmal SAH with NPE is very scant. We present that SAH

A 39-year-old male with decreased visual acuity and extensive macular hemorrhage and edema secondary to a hemiretinal vein occlusion was treated with multiple intravitreal injections of bevacizumab 1.25 mg every four to six weeks for over one year. Treatment outcomes were assessed by visual acuity

We report three cases of persistent vitreous hemorrhage after injection of a biodegradable 0.7 mg dexamethasone intravitreal implant (Ozurdex, Allergan), (DEX) to treat and manage diabetic macular edema (DME); we also summarize available case reports and review the literature regarding persistent

We report a case of massive ovarian edema due to left adnexal torsion. On initial magnetic resonance (MR), unusual hemorrhages were demonstrated as several hypointense areas on T2-weighted images. The lack of contrast enhancement was also observed in the left adnexa. Abdominal pain resolved

Neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) is a clinical syndrome characterized by the acute onset of pulmonary edema after a significant central nervous system (CNS) insult. NPE occurs as a result of release of catecholamines into the blood immediately after aneurysm rupture. The aim of this study is to

OBJECTIVE To determine the long-term visual outcomes after vitreous surgery for macular edema with foveal hemorrhage associated with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). METHODS One hundred twenty eyes of 120 patients underwent pars plana vitrectomy with or without internal limiting membrane (ILM)

A goat was scheduled for experimental surgery under general anesthesia. The first attempt of performing endotracheal intubation failed and provoked laryngeal spasm. After repeated succesful intubation of inhalation anesthesia was delivered in high concentrations of sevoflurane. Suddenly hypertension

Brain edema is one of the most frequent and serious complications of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), but its underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. In order to understand whether inflammatory mediators released from the blood after cerebral hemorrhage plays a role in brain edema, we

Volume management is critical for assessment of cerebral vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). This multicenter prospective cohort study compared the impact of surgical clipping versus endovascular coiling on postoperative hemodynamics and pulmonary edema in patients with SAH.

BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is related to increased systemic inflammation and arterial hypertension. We hypothesize that OSA is frequent in patients with acute hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and is related to the perihematoma edema. METHODS Thirty-two non-comatose patients

Acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy (AHEI) is a benign form of leukocytoclastic vasculitis that typically affects children between 4 and 24 months of age. The etiology remains unknown. The potential triggers of AHEI include preceding bacterial or viral infections, immunizations and drugs. The onset
