A review of size and location of ruptured intracranial aneurysms.

Objective: To review our experience and examine the size at which aneurysms ruptured in our patient population.

Methods: Patient charts and angiograms for all patients admitted with a diagnosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage to the Thomas Jefferson/Wills Eye Hospital between April 1996 and March 2000 were reviewed.

Results: Of the 362 cases reviewed, definite measurements of the ruptured aneurysm were obtained in 245.

A bruital headache and double vision.

A 44-year-old woman presented with a painful abducens nerve palsy in the left eye. Examination revealed a white, quiet eye and an orbital bruit without proptosis. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated abnormal ipsilateral dural-based enhancement.

Cranial vault expansion using transcutaneously activated magnetic implants.

The technique of distraction osteogenesis has not been widely used in the treatment of problems of the head and face because of the need for external fixators. By using magnetic, rather than mechanical, forces to drive bone movement we hope to expand the applications of the technique to include the treatment of cranial vault deformities. Thirty immature rabbits were studied.
