Neuroinfections caused by fungi
ConclusionAlthough the number of fungal species causing CNS mycosis is increasing, only some possess well-defined treatment standards (e.g., cryptococcal meningitis and CNS aspergillosis). The early diagnosis of fungal infection, accompanied by identification of the etiological factor, is needed to allow the selection of effective therapy in patients with FIs-CNS and limit their high mortality.

Quality of life among children who had undergone ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery
Conclusion: Children who underwent VP shunt face various health-related problems in different domains and low QOL. Although cognitive domain was the most affected, multiple surgeries had the most significant impact on QOL. Appropriately focused interventions and holistic management are essential to improve the QOL of children undergoing VP shunt.

Radiological Estimation of Intracranial Blood Volume and Occurrence of Hydrocephalus Determines Stress-Induced Hyperglycemia After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
AbstractAcute phase after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is associated with several metabolic derangements including stress-induced hyperglycemia (SIH). The present study is designed to identify objective radiological determinants for SIH to better understand its contributory role in clinical outcomes after aSAH. A computer-aided detection tool was used to segment admission computed tomography (CT) images of aSAH patients to estimate intracranial blood and cerebrospinal fluid volumes. Modified Graeb score (mGS) was used as a semi-quantitative measure to estimate degree of hydrocephalus. The relationship between ...

Intracranial tuberculous mass lesions treated with thalidomide in an immunocompetent child from a low tuberculosis endemic country: A case report
We describe a case of an Italian child. Diagnoses: we diagnosed early a Tuberculous meningitis complicated by the occurrence of hydrocephalus, stroke, and paradoxical reaction with brain pseudo-abscesses. Interventions: The child started readily a specific therapy associated with steroids and thalidomide was introduced few month later. Outcomes: the patient had a favorable outcome without neurologic sequelae. Lessons: Despite the prompt specific anti-tubercular and adjuvant corticosteroid therapies, only the addition of thalidomide to the treatment allow to a favorable clinical outcome.

Incidence and Risk Factors for Dysphagia Following Non-traumatic Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Retrospective Cohort Study
AbstractThe aim of the study is to investigate dysphagia incidence and establish factors which may reliably predict dysphagia risk in individuals presenting with non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). A retrospective chart audit of 250 patients (151 females and 99 males) consecutively admitted with non-traumatic SAH to a major, tertiary neurosurgery referral center in Australia was conducted. Demographics, medical, and surgical information, along with speech –language pathology (SLP) assessment data were collected. Differences between dysphagic and non-dysphagic groups were evaluated usingt tests,χ2, and Fisher ...

Artificial intelligence platform screens for acute neurological illnesses at Mount Sinai
(The Mount Sinai Hospital / Mount Sinai School of Medicine) An artificial intelligence platform designed to identify a broad range of acute neurological illnesses, such as stroke, hemorrhage, and hydrocephalus, was shown to identify disease in CT scans in 1.2 seconds, faster than human diagnosis.

Edaravone Reduces Iron-Mediated Hydrocephalus and Behavioral Disorder in Rat by Activating the Nrf2/HO-1 Pathway
Our previous studies have demonstrated that hemorrhage-derived iron has a key role in causing brain injury after intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). Based on this finding, we hypothesized that edaravone, a free-radical scavenger, has the potential to alleviate hydrocephalus and neurological deficits post-IVH by suppressing iron-induced oxidative stress. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the efficacy of edaravone for rats with FeCl3 injection, as well as to explore the related molecular mechanism.

Vertebrobasilar Dolichoectasia Causing Symptomatic Hydrocephalus Due to Third Ventricular Compression
Vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia sometimes presents with symptoms related to mass effect like cranial nerve palsies, or with ischemia or hemorrhage. Symptomatic hydrocephalus as a complication of vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia is extremely uncommon. Furthermore, there are few cases of vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia, in which cerebrospinal fluid flow disorder mechanisms are clearly demonstrated in neuroimaging findings. Here, we describe a patient with vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia who presented with symptomatic hydrocephalus due to direct compression against the third ventricle, which was immediately relieved by ventriculoperitoneal shunt.

Cranioplasty following decompressive craniectomy: minor surgical complexity but still high periprocedural complication rates
AbstractCranioplasty following decompressive craniectomy is of low surgical complexity, so much so that it has become the “beginners” cranial case. However, these “simple” procedures may have high complication rates. Identification of specific risk factors would allow targeted intervention to lower the complication rates. The aim of this study was to assess the rate of complications and to evaluate potential ri sk factors. We conducted a review of all patients who underwent cranioplasty in our center following decompressive craniectomy for stroke or brain trauma between 2009 and 2016. One hundred fifty-two patients...

Evaluation of CSF flow metrics in patients with communicating hydrocephalus and idiopathic intracranial hypertension
ConclusionIn hydrocephalus, significant increase in ASV and peak velocities were noted. In IIH, CSF opening pressure was statistically significantly high in the presence of transverse sinus compression and standardized diastolic flow durations were statistically significantly short that are probably effects of increased impedance of CSF flow against increased intracranial pressure and unchanged or even decreased intraventricular CSF volume.

FIVHeMA: Intraventricular fibrinolysis versus external ventricular drainage alone in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: A randomized controlled trial.
Authors: Gaberel T, Gakuba C, Fournel F, Le Blanc E, Gaillard C, Saint Paul LP, Chaillot F, Tanguy P, Parienti JJ, Emery E Abstract INTRODUCTION: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating form of stroke, which often causes acute hydrocephalus requiring the insertion of an external ventricular drain (EVD). A major complication of aneurysmal SAH is delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI). As DCI is linked to the presence of blood within the subarachnoid space, it has been hypothesized that removing this blood may decrease the risk of DCI. This could be achieved by injecting a fibrinolytic agent through the EV...

Tranexamic Acid in Cerebral Hemorrhage: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review
ConclusionsTreatment with tranexamic acid could reduce rebleeding and hematoma expansion in cerebral hemorrhage without an increase in single ischemic adverse events, but it could increase the risk of combined ischemic events; however, the lack of improvement in mortality and the poor functional outcomes limit the value of clinical application. These findings indicate that the most pertinent issue is the risk-to-benefit ratio with tranexamic acid treatment in cerebral hemorrhage.
