Twenty two patients with traumatic basal ganglia haematoma were studied. The mean Glasgow Coma Score on admission was 7. 17 patients had sustained high acceleration/deceleration injuries. The location and size of haematoma did not correlate with prognosis. Outcome was poor in 7 patients, while 8 patients died.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains one of the leading causes of death. Because of the individual nature of the trauma (brain, circumstances and forces), humans experience individual TBIs. This makes it difficult to generalise therapies.

Background: Enlarged perivascular spaces (ePVS) on MRI can signal impaired cerebral fluid clearance and predict dementia risk. Risk factors and biological correlates of ePVS are uncertain partially due to the lack of pathological correlation studies. Repetitive head impacts (RHI) from contact sports might represent one risk factor for ePVS, given their association with vascular pathologies and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a neurodegenerative disease characterized by perivascular p-tau aggregates.

Alzheimers Dement

Background: Although many studies have shown that traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) regardless of their severity, are associated with a significantly increased risk of all-cause dementia, the specific pathophysiological mechanisms that underlie these associations remain poorly understood, resulting in discordance findings among different studies and contradictory claims in the current literature. In this study we investigated the effect of TBI and PTSD on the level of amyloid, tau, as well as markers of small vessel health including white matter hyperintensity and perivascular spaces and consequently assessed their effect on the cognitive function in order to understand the pathways through which TBI and PTSD may result in dementia.
Method: The participants in this study were MCI cases drawn from the ADNI-DOD (n=58).

Traumatic direct type carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) is an acquired arteriovenous shunt between the carotid artery and the cavernous sinus post severe craniofacial trauma or iatrogenic injury. We reported a 46-year-old woman who had developed a traumatic direct type CCF after severe head trauma with a skull base fracture and brain contusion hemorrhage. The clinical manifestations of the patient included pulsatile exophthalmos, proptosis, bruits, chemosis, and a decline in consciousness.
