Department of Neuroradiology, Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital-Paris VI University, Paris, France.
Background And Purpose: Cerebral vasospasm remains a major problem in patients recovering from aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage despite advances in medical, surgical, and endovascular care. Our purpose was to assess the efficacy of intra-arterial nimodipine, a calcium-channel blocker acting mainly on cerebral vessels, in preventing delayed neurologic deficits in patients with symptomatic vasospasm.
Methods: Clinical charts of 25 consecutively treated patients were retrospectively reviewed.
Purpose: To determine the value of aqueous humor analysis for confirming the diagnosis of ocular toxoplasmosis in patients who present with atypical clinical features and to relate the results of local antibody production and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with the extent of active retinitis and the immune status of the patient.
Design: Retrospective case series.
Methods: Sixty-seven consecutive patients with retinitis or retinochoroiditis that was clinically consistent with atypical ocular toxoplasmosis underwent diagnostic anterior chamber paracentesis and serological studies.
