We reported a case of trigonal cavernous malformation (CM) with intraventricular hemorrhage. This 67-year-old woman experienced sudden onset of loss of consciousness and her Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) was 5 points (E1V1M3) on admission. CT scan demonstrated intraventricular hemorrhage and acute hydrocephalus. Angiography did not demonstrate any vascular abnormality. Ventricular drainage was performed for acute hydrocephalus and the postoperative course was good. CT showed a hyperdense lesion in the left trigone, which was contrast-enhanced on T1-weighted MR. Removal of CM was performed via the left middle temporal sulcus. We conducted a Pub Med search for trigonal CM and found 17 cases. Herein we discuss the symptoms, CT and MR findings and treatment.

Background: Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is essential for diagnosing cardiomyopathy, serving as the gold standard for assessing heart chamber volumes and tissue characterization. Hemodynamic forces (HDF) analysis, a novel approach using standard cine CMR images, estimates energy exchange between the left ventricular (LV) wall and blood. While prior research has focused on peak or mean longitudinal HDF values, this study aims to investigate whether unsupervised clustering of HDF curves can identify clinically significant patterns and stratify cardiovascular risk in non-ischemic LV cardiomyopathy (NILVC).

December 2024

Institute of Anaesthesiologic Pathophysiology and Process Development, University Hospital Ulm, Helmholtzstrasse 8/1, 89081 Ulm, Germany.

Article Synopsis
  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death, complicating the development of effective therapies due to the unique nature of each injury.
  • Clinical questions regarding the benefits of measuring intracranial pressure, cerebral perfusion pressure, and surgical interventions remain largely unanswered.
  • This study focused on acute subdural hematoma in a porcine model to better understand secondary brain injury and the effects of different injury patterns on outcomes, highlighting the need for comprehensive models to improve TBI treatment translation.

Importance: Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) has been described to typically occur during the early hours of life (HOL); however, the exact time of onset is still unknown.

Objective: To investigate the temporal distribution of IVH reported in very preterm neonates.

Data Sources: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched on May 9, 2024.

Objective: Primary intraventricular hemorrhage (PIVH) is a rare type of neurologic disorder and remains a challenge for cerebrovascular surgeons. This study intended to investigate the factors associated with neurosurgical intervention and its impact on outcome after PIVH.

Methods: We retrospectively included consecutive patients with PIVH admitted to at a single tertiary academic medical center in China.

Shunt-Dependent Hydrocephalus After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Investigation of Prognostic Variables and Creation of a Stronger Predictive Model.

World Neurosurg

January 2025

Department of Neurosurgery, Emory University School of Medicine, 1365 Clifton Road NE, Ste. B6200, Atlanta, Georgia, USA 30322; Radiology and Imaging Sciences, Division of Interventional Neuroradiology, Emory University School of Medicine, 1364 Clifton Road NE, AG26, Atlanta, Georgia, USA, 30322.

Background: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is frequently complicated by permanent shunt-dependent hydrocephalus, but it is difficult to predict which patients are at highest risk.

Objective: This study seeks to identify novel variables associated with shunt dependency after aSAH and to create a predictive algorithm that improves upon existing models.

Methods: Retrospective case control design was used.
