Antipsychotics and the Risk of Cerebrovascular Accident: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies.

Background: Studies investigating the association between antipsychotic use and the risk of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) showed inconsistent results.

Aim: Conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate whether use of antipsychotics is associated with increased risk of CVA.

Methods: Major electronic databases were searched from 1970 to October 2016 for observational studies investigating the risk of CVA among users of antipsychotics.

Complete recovery of spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormality and traumatic brachial plexopathy in a young infant falling from a 30-feet-high window.

The laxity and elasticity of the infant or child spine may predispose him to cervical spine injury without bony disruption. The term 'SCIWORA' syndrome (Spinal Cord Injury Without Radiographic Abnormalities) is commonly used to characterize this condition. We report a 14-month-old infant who fell from a fourth-story window, with delayed onset of SCIWORA and brachial plexopathy.
