Article Synopsis
- - Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a severe condition with high mortality, and recent studies suggest that neuroendoscopic treatment, specifically endoscopic brainwashing (EBW), may improve outcomes compared to traditional external ventricular drainage (EVD).
- - A retrospective analysis of adult IVH patients showed that those receiving EBW had larger hemoventricles and more chronic conditions but exhibited lower short-term mortality and better long-term outcomes compared to EVD patients.
- - The study concluded that EBW appears to lead to improved functional outcomes over time, with a greater percentage of patients achieving favorable results than those treated with EVD alone.
Background: Severe ankylosing spondylitis (AS) affects the entire spine, increasing the risk of vertebral fractures. There are several fusion procedures used (e.g.
