- Tension pneumocephalus is a rare but serious condition that can arise in neonates receiving positive-pressure ventilation.
- A preterm newborn with hyaline membrane disease showed signs of increased pressure in the brain, leading to the diagnosis.
- Imaging techniques like transfontanellar ultrasound and cranial CT confirmed the condition, which was treated by draining the trapped air with a needle through the baby's skull.
Introduction: Spasticity represents a medical problem whose incidence is increasing during the last years due to pathologies such as cerebral palsy, stroke, multiple sclerosis, trauma or encephalopathy, affecting both adults and children. The treatments include rehabilitation, pharmacotherapy and surgery, among which we highlight intrathecal baclofen infusion devices.
Material And Methods: Intrathecal baclofen devices implanted patients in Clinical Hospital of Santiago de Compostela from 2005 to 2018 were selected for retrospective analysis using assessment of spasticity scales, such as Ashworth scale.
