Correlation Between Clinical Findings at Admission and Glasgow Outcome Scale Score in Children with Traumatic Brain Injury.

Objective: Traumatic brain injury has different pathophysiology and outcomes in children and adults. This study investigated the relationship between clinical and laboratory findings at admission and Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) score in children with traumatic brain injury.

Methods: This prospective cross-sectional single-center study enrolled 444 children 1-16 years old admitted to the neurosurgery ward from 2016 to 2020.

Surgical outcomes of calvaria reconstruction in cranial pansynostosis associated with Arnold-Chiari type 1.5 malformation, a case report.

A 6-year-old girl with persistent headaches and the visual problem was diagnosed as a delayed onset cranial pansynostosis with concurrent type 1.5 Arnold-Chiari malformation. She underwent multi-sutural reconstructive surgery and followed.

Comparison the effect of bupivacaine plus magnesium sulfate with ropivacaine plus magnesium sulfate infiltration on postoperative pain in patients undergoing lumbar laminectomy with general anesthesia.

Purpose: In this study, we investigated the effect of local injection of ropivacaine and bupivacaine with magnesium sulfate on postoperative pain in vertebral laminectomy surgery.

Design: This randomized double-blind prospective study was conducted among 60 patients aged 18-65 years old with ASA class I and II.

Methods: Group RM: (30 people) received 70 mg ropivacaine (14 ml) plus 1 ml magnesium sulfate (500 mg) volume up to 20 ml with normal saline.

Spinal Textiloma After Diskectomy: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Background: Spinal masses can be diagnosed by clinical and radiographic examinations. Infrequently, pseudotumors may be due to retained masses after surgical interventions. In fact, these spinal or paraspinal expansions are caused by iatrogenic foreign bodies.

The Effect of Oral Administration of Amantadine on Neurological Outcome of Patients With Diffuse Axonal Injury in ICU.

Traumatic brain injury is a major cause of death and disability in adults. This study investigated the effect of oral administration of amantadine on the neurological outcomes of patients with diffuse axonal injury (DAI) in the intensive care unit (ICU). This double-blind clinical trial was conducted in the ICU of Imam Hospital in Urmia.

The cystic dilation of ventriculus terminalis with neurological symptoms: Three case reports and a literature review.

Context: The ventriculus terminalis (VT) is a very small ependymal-lined residual lumen in the conus medullaris. It is normally present in all subjects during fetal development. VT in adults appears as an unusual pathology with an uncertain pathogenesis.

Vaginal Extrusion of a Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Background: Ventriculoperitoneal shunting is the most common treatment for hydrocephalus (excessive cerebrospinal fluid accumulation in the brain), but has the potential for serious complications such as shunt migration. Potential migration sites include the lateral ventricle mediastinum, gastrointestinal tract, abdominal wall, bladder, vagina, and scrotum.

Case: Here, we present a rare case of vaginal extrusion of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt.

Intradural extramedullary primary hydatid cyst of the spine: a case report and review of literature.

Primary intradural extramedullary hydatid cyst is a rare form of parasitic infection, causing focal neurological signs, commonly observed in sheep-raising areas of the world. We report a rare case of intradural, extramedullary spinal cyst, which we had misdiagnosis in the first surgery, because of rarity of the case. A 55-year-old man presented to our hospital in August 2008.
