subarachnoid hemorrhage/vomiting

Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) makes up 1% of all attendances for acute severe headache to emergency departments, but other less common presentations may be seen. A 28-year-old man presented to the ED complaining of a 24-h history of nausea and vomiting of sudden onset, but without headache. The

The study included 562 patients with headache who visited our clinic from January 1988 to December 1993. In these patients, the possibility of subarachnoid hemorrhage was denied from CT findings and color of cerebrospinal fluid by lumbar puncture. Cerebral aneurysm was found in 52 out of 562

The authors report on a patient presenting with subarachnoid hemorrhage that was caused by a rupture of an spinal combined arteriovenous malformation at cervicothoracic junction. The patient was a 30-year-old female, who had exhibited an abrupt onset of severe low neck and occipital pain with

One third of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (ASAH) present with headache only. A prompt diagnosis is crucial, but these patients must be distinguished from patients with non-haemorrhagic benign thunderclap headache (BTH). The headache characteristics and associated features at

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is a life-threatening event that can cause permanent disability. This life-threatening event can be further complicated by subsequent cardiac and pulmonary disability. The presence of a neurogenic cardiomyopathy and pulmonary edema increases the morbidity and

We describe subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in a 66-year-old man, who underwent technically successful carotid stenting for a string-stenosis of the right internal carotid artery (ICA) in a presence of contralateral ICA occlusion with recurrent right hemisphere transient ischemic attacks. At 2 hours,

A 48-year-old female suffered from severe headache, vomiting, and disturbance of consciousness. On admission, she was somnolent with mild paresis of the left leg. Precontrast computed tomography (CT) scans showed a high-density area in the left sylvian fissure and the posterior horn of the left

Cerebral venous thrombosis presenting with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is very rare. We report a case of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis as an initial manifestation of SAH. A 14-year-old boy was admitted with progressive headache, nausea, vomiting, diplopia, and gait disturbance. Cerebral

BACKGROUND The symptoms of sudden severe headache and/or diminished consciousness characterize the onset of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). However, several studies have suggested that some patients show an atypical presentation at the onset: symptoms lacking sudden headache and diminished

Computed tomography (CT) findings of chronic subdural hematomas are usually diagnostic, unless hematomas are isodense and bilateral. The authors report two cases of bilateral chronic subdural hematomas, in which CT scans on admission were both misdiagnosed as delayed subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).

BACKGROUND Acute cerebral incidents have been correlated with cardiac manifestations. Specifically, subarachnoid hemorrhage has been correlated with a syndrome described as neurogenic stress cardiomyopathy and mimics acute coronary syndrome. METHODS A 55-year-old woman presented at the Emergency

BACKGROUND Both aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and benign perimesencephalic hemorrhage are well-described causes of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage that arise as a result of different pathologic processes. To the best of the authors' knowledge, there have been no reports of both vascular

BACKGROUND Subarachnoid hemorrhages caused by intracranial dissections are rare. The management of dissections in these cases not clear. METHODS Case report. RESULTS An 82-year-old woman presented with acute drowsiness and vomiting. CT scan demonstrated extensive subarachnoid hemorrhage and

CONCLUSIONS A rare paediatric case ofvertebrovertebral arteriovenous fistula presented with a subarachnoid haemorrhage. A 12 year-old boy, who fell on his back at school, presented with a one week history of headache, vomiting, and double vision. Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed subarachnoid
