A new CT-based classification of spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral haematomas.

Background And Purpose: In patients with intracerebral haematoma (ICH) secondary to ruptured aneurysm or arteriovenous malformation (AVM), conservative therapy and follow-up without angiographic evaluation is associated with a risk of recurrent bleeding. It is necessary for a clinician to identify a subgroup of patients with spontaneous supratentorial ICH who are likely to harbour high-flow vascular malformations that require specific treatment - neurosurgical or neuroradiological. A new CT-based classification for supratentorial ICH aimed at a close correlation between ICH localization and occurrence of high-flow vascular malformations diagnosed on angiography is presented.

[Diagnostic difficulties due to atypical symptoms in normal pressure hydrocephalus. A case report].

This paper presents a case of a female patient with unusual symptoms of diagnosed hydrocephalus. Symptoms demonstrated by the patient were initially diagnosed as immature personality, after that she was diagnosed with reactive depressive disorders. For those reasons she was treated for over 20 years in different psychiatric outpatient clinics and psychiatric hospitals.
