Focal1

• Overview of Stroke Strokes are a heterogeneous group of disorders involving sudden, focal interruption of cerebral blood flow that causes neurologic deficit. (msdmanuals.com)

Hemorrhage7

• Intracranial hemorrhage refers to any bleeding within the cranial vault, including subdural and epidural hematomas and subarachnoid hemorrhage. (medlink.com)
• Most patients with basal ganglia hemorrhage have high blood pressure. (medlink.com)
• Subdural hemorrhage Subdural Hemorrhage Subdural hemorrhage (SDH) is bleeding into the space between the dural and arachnoid meningeal layers surrounding the brain. (lecturio.com)
• Subdural Hemorrhage ) is bleeding into the space between the dural and arachnoid meningeal layers surrounding the brain Brain The part of central nervous system that is contained within the skull (cranium). (lecturio.com)
• Chronic SDH SDH Subdural hemorrhage (SDH) is bleeding into the space between the dural and arachnoid meningeal layers surrounding the brain. (lecturio.com)
• A stroke is an acute neurologic condition resulting from a disruption in cerebral perfusion , either due to ischemia ( ischemic strokes ) or hemorrhage ( hemorrhagic strokes ). (amboss.com)
• The following table focuses on nontraumatic cerebral ischemia and intracranial hemorrhage . (amboss.com)

Stroke1

• this can be helpful in confirming the diagnosis and excluding mimics of hypertensive encephalopathy such as ischemic stroke. (medlink.com)

Strokes4

• Strokes can be Ischemic (80%), typically resulting. (msdmanuals.com)
• Systemic hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases are common risk factors for both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes . (amboss.com)
• In ischemic strokes , immediate revascularization of the affected vessel is vital to preserve brain tissue and prevent further damage. (amboss.com)
• For both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes , age is the most important nonmodifiable risk factor and arterial hypertension is the most important modifiable risk factor . (amboss.com)

Meningeal1

• He had subsequently developed a meningeal syndrome with a cerebral abscess managed by needle aspiration biopsy and intravenous antibiotics. (bvsalud.org)

Trauma1

• Head injuries can be classified as open (penetrating) or closed (blunt), and primary (from the initial trauma) or secondary (indirect brain injury), and range from mild to severe and life-threatening. (lecturio.com)

Acute2

• Acute infections include acute pyelonephritis, The study aim to highlight the value of renal and perirenal abscesses, pyonephrosis, multidetecter C.T imaging in assessment of renal emphysematous pyelonephritis and emphysematous inflammatory diseases. (egyptianjournal.xyz)
• Striated nephrogram which is an appearance of gas in the renal area in emphysematous described for acute pyelonephritis shows discrete pyelonephritis or abscess and the typical mass like rays of alternating hypo attenuation and hyper calcification in end stage renal tuberculosis (Putty attenuation radiating from the papilla to the cortex kidney). (egyptianjournal.xyz)

Lumbar puncture2

• Identification of increased pressure by lumbar puncture may also modify the therapy provided. (medscape.com)
• Diagnosis is by ophthalmoscopy with further tests, usually brain imaging and sometimes subsequent lumbar puncture, to determine cause. (msdmanuals.com)

Computed tomography1

• Clinical, radiological and ophthalmological investigations must be performed, including computed tomography (CT) scan or cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with antibiotic treatment for suspected microorganisms. (bvsalud.org)

Hypertensive3

• Other autopsy findings included pulmonary edema and ascites, as well as hypertensive changes in the lungs and early cardiac cirrhosis. (medscape.com)
• Hypertensive encephalopathy is a syndrome in which altered mental status, headache, vision changes, or seizures accompany elevated blood pressure. (medlink.com)
• These radiographic findings in hypertensive encephalopathy, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, and reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome supported the concept that the syndrome results from fluid and protein extravasation across the blood-brain barrier, owing to failure of cerebral autoregulation. (medlink.com)

Elevation2

• It may cause stupor or seizure and may contribute to the elevation of intracranial pressure. (medscape.com)
• Failure of cerebral autoregulation from a sudden elevation of blood pressure results in endothelial injury and vasogenic edema. (medlink.com)

Bilateral1

• Papilledema is a sign of elevated intracranial pressure and is almost always bilateral. (msdmanuals.com)

Patients2

• Care must be taken not to perform lumbar punctures in patients who are at risk for brain herniation or are manifesting signs of impending herniation. (medscape.com)
• Patients may have symptoms of increased intracranial pressure, such as headache or nausea and vomiting. (msdmanuals.com)

Occur1

• Heart attacks, or myocardial infarctions, occur when blood flow to the heart is blocked. (regenerativemedicine.net)

Findings1

• Clinical symptoms and radiographic findings are most often reversible with prompt blood pressure management. (medlink.com)

Hypertension1

• Optic disk swelling resulting from causes that do not involve increased intracranial pressure (eg, malignant hypertension, central retinal vein occlusion) is not considered papilledema. (msdmanuals.com)

Dural2

• The pathogenesis of sDAVFs is yet to be fully elucidated, conversely to their intracranial counterparts, in which dural venous thrombosis and neoangiogenesis contribute to the abnormal recanalization of the primitive direct connections between the arteries and veins around the major dural venous sinuses. (neurosurgicalatlas.com)
• For a detailed discussion about intracranial DAVFs, please refer to the Principles of Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas chapter. (neurosurgicalatlas.com)

Clinical1

• Rapid blood pressure control is safe but does not improve the clinical outcome. (medlink.com)

Detection1

• The advent of head CT and brain MRI have greatly improved the detection, localization, and characterization of brain hemorrhages. (medlink.com)

Mass1

• Unlike SIADH, cerebral salt wasting is associated with a decline rather than an increase in patient mass. (medscape.com)

Small1

• The small hemorrhages may resemble lacunar infarctions, whereas the large ones may present as coma. (medlink.com)

Blood pressure1

• MRI imaging in all cases demonstrated posterior leukoencephalopathy without infarction that resolved after cessation of the purportedly triggering medication, delivery, or control of blood pressure. (medlink.com)
