Fetal brain damage can have many causes, the most common being possibly asphyxia which is often associated with intrauterine growth retardation. Early recognition of cerebral lesions is important in guiding obstetrical management. A case of antenatal cerebral intraparenchymal ischemia diagnosed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) earlier than cerebral ultrasound examination is reported. This case report indicates that NMR may be a useful tool for the early detection of cerebral impairment in severe fetal growth retardation.

Transcirculation repair of a direct carotid-cavernous fistula in a patient who presented with hydrocephalus: illustrative case.

Background: Direct carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCFs) are relatively rare but dangerous complications of penetrating traumatic brain injury or maxillofacial trauma. A variety of clinical signs have been described, including ophthalmological and neurological ones. In some cases, severely altered cerebral blood flow can present as massive life-threatening bleeding through the nose, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and/or intraparenchymal hemorrhage.

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) are characterized by abnormal pulmonary vessels forming arteriovenous shunts that compromise oxygenation of the blood, causing hypoxemia, and predispose to infections and cerebral ischemia. The patient in this case was a 38-year-old male who presented with tachypnea and dyspnea, cyanosis of extremities, and significant digital clubbing. The patient had structural epilepsy secondary to neurosurgery for a cerebral abscess during childhood.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of sample size on the development of a three-dimensional convolutional neural network (3DCNN) model for predicting the binary classification of three types of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH): intraparenchymal, subarachnoid, and subdural (IPH, SAH, SDH, respectively). During the training, we compiled all images of each brain computed tomography scan into a single 3D image, which was then fed into the model to classify the presence of ICH. We divided the non-hemorrhage quantities into 20, 30, 40, 50, 100, and 150 and the ICH quantities into 20, 30, 40, and 50.

Purpose: Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is in most studies considered essential in avoiding secondary brain injury in patients with intracranial pathologies. Invasive monitoring of ICP is accurate but is unavailable in many clinical and prehospital settings. Non-invasive modalities have historically been difficult to implement clinically.

Objective: To gain initial insight into the efficacy to lower intracranial pressure (ICP), side effects, and effects on cognition of five drugs commonly used to treat idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).
Background: Limited clinical data exist for the treatment for IIH. Impaired cognition is recognized in IIH and can be exacerbated by medications.
