Risk Factors and the Management of Entrapped Temporal Horn following Lateral Ventricular Tumor Surgery
CONCLUSION: ETH often occurs following the surgery of lateral ventricle tumors. Large tumor diameter, tumor stroke, non-EVD at the end of operation, and the mechanical separation of the tumor boundary are the risk factors of ETH. The natural exposure of the tumor boundary during surgery, avoiding the use of hemostatic materials, placing an EVD tube at the end of operation, and postoperative infection control can effectively reduce the occurrence of ETH. It is essential to select the appropriate treatment method for patients with postoperative ETH.PMID:36482848 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.36722-21.2

An Adolescent With Pseudomigraine, Transient Headache, Neurological Deficits, and Lymphocytic Pleocytosis (HaNDL Syndrome): Case Report and Review of the Literature
We report a 16-year-old adolescent with 2 episodes of focal neurological deficits, pseudomigrainous headache, and lymphocytic pleocytosis due to the syndrome of transient headache and neurological deficits with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lymphocytosis (HaNDL), also known as pseudomigraine with CSF pleocytosis. Review of the literature identifies 13 additional cases of HaNDL in the pediatric population. These cases are reviewed and evidence for possible etiopathogenesis is discussed. This syndrome may mimic much more common conditions such as complicated or hemiplegic migraine, aseptic meningitis, meningoencephalitis, or str...

Predictive Factors of Central Nervous Infection: Prospective Evaluation of 124 Cases with Suspicion of Meningitis. (P2.303)
Discussion and conclusions: The presence of meningeal signs, hypoglucorraquia and low PH in CSF are the most suggestive findings of meningitis, when compared to fever, mental status changes or other variables. Initial CSF image should include the application of constrast when possible.Disclosure: Dr. Trevino has nothing to disclose. Dr. Gonzalez Duarte has nothing to disclose.

Resolution of a fungal mycotic aneurysm after a contaminated steroid injection: a case report
Conclusions: This is the rare case report of successful medical management of a cerebral mycotic aneurysm with stroke symptoms related to a presumed phaeohyphomycosis in an immunocompetent individual. Further studies are needed to determine the utility of cerebrospinal fluid (1, 3) beta-D-glucan in diagnosing and monitoring patients with meningitis thought to be related to fungal infection.

CNS-disease affecting the heart: Brain–heart disorders
Abstract: There are a number of hereditary and non-hereditary central nervous system (CNS) disorders, which directly or indirectly affect the heart (brain–heart disorders). The most well-known of these CNS-disorders are epilepsy, stroke, subarachanoid bleeding, bacterial meningitis, and head injury. In addition, a number of hereditary and non-hereditary neurodegenerative disorders may impair cardiac functions. Affection of the heart may manifest as arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy, or autonomic dysfunction. Rarer cardiac complications of CNS disorders include heart failure, systolic or diastolic dysfunction, myocardial infarc...
