Acute subdural hematoma post ventricular puncture in infants: A case report and review of the literature.

Introduction And Importance: Acute subdural hematoma in infants is often due to non-accidental causes such as shaken baby syndrome or abuse. Occasionally a rupture of the cerebral bridge veins after ventricular puncture can lead to a subdural hematoma in infant. In this article we report the very first case of acute subdural hematoma after ventricular puncture of cerebrospinal fluid.

Orbital meningocele in two case studies.

Background: Orbital meningocele is a rare congenital malformation characterized by herniation of the meninges into the orbit through a congenital defect in the orbital bones. Much less commonly, it occurs at the site of natural openings (e.g.

[Update on intrasellar arachnoid cyst: a case study].

Intrasellar arachnoid cysts are benign malformations. They are extremely rare (approximately 3% of cases). Their pathophysiology is still poorly elucidated.

[Narrow lumbar channel due to epidural lipomatosis: case report and literature review].

Epidural lipomatosis is characterized by the abnormal accumulation of non-encapsulated grease in the epidural space. Although rare, it is a possible cause of lombosciatica or narrow lumbar channel. It is often associated with contributing factors such as prolonged corticosteroid therapy or obesity.

Microsurgical Treatment of Ruptured Intracranial Aneurysms in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Series of 102 Consecutive Cases Treated in Senegal.

Introduction: In sub-Saharan Africa, the management of ruptured intracranial aneurysms (RIAs) is difficult for many reasons. In this retrospective, 3-year study, the authors will demonstrate the particularities of the management of RIAs in Senegal.

Methods: We analyzed retrospectively 102 consecutive cases of RIAs operated on between May 2013 and December 2016 in Neurosurgical Department of Fann Hospital in Dakar, Senegal.
