Prevalence of Cognitive Impairment and Dementia After Intracerebral Hemorrhage.

Objective: To study the prevalence of cognitive impairment in survivors of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

Methods: Survivors of spontaneous ICH were followed up in the neurology outpatient department when they reported for follow-up after 6 months. Neuroimaging records at the onset and at follow-up visits are studied for the location of ICH, volume of ICH, intraventricular extension, and hydrocephalus.

Relevance of Geographical and Biochemical Factors in Causation of Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis: An Observational Analytical Study.

Objectives: There is a higher prevalence of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) in more recent times, owing to increased awareness, clinical diagnostic skills, and advancements in neuroimaging modalities. This study aimed to identify and characterize the geographical, clinical, and etiological profiles of patients with CVST that may be relevant to planning appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to improve functional recovery.

Methods And Results: A retrospective observational study was carried out at a tertiary care hospital between March 2014 and October 2018.

Super-Refractory Status Epilepticus: A Therapeutic Challenge in Paediatrics.

A status epilepticus which persists for 24 hours or more after starting treatment with anaesthesia or has recurred inspite of general anaesthesia is known as Super-Refractory Status Epilepticus (SRSE). It includes cases where status epilepticus recurs on reduction or withdrawal of anaesthesia. SRSE, though infrequently seen, constitutes a medical emergency due to the associated high morbidity and mortality.
