INTRODUCTION: Porencephaly is defined as a fluid-filled cavity of variable size in the brain cortex. It is regarded as a congenital condition and is typically considered a developmental or an encephaloclastic defect. Our hypothesis is that postnatal traumatic events in the first few months of life may represent a cause of canine and feline porencephaly that is more common than generally suspected. The aims of this study were to retrospectively investigate porencephaly in a large population of dogs and cats, detect MRI features that might be useful to differentiate postnatal acquired traumatic forms from congenital/perinatal porencephaly, and define the prevalence of seizure activity in porencephalic patients...

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is often accompanied by neurological and ocular symptoms that involve trigeminal nerve pathways. Laser-induced shock wave (LISW) was applied to the skull of male rats as a model for mTBI, while behavioral and neural recording methods were used to assess trigeminal function. The LISW caused greater eye wiping behavior to ocular instillation of hypertonic saline (Sham = 4.83 ± 0.65 wipes/5 min, LISW = 12.71 ± 1...

As neurosurgery has advanced technologically, more and more neurosurgical implants are being employed on an aging patient population with several comorbidities. As a result, there is a steady increase in the frequency of infections linked to neurosurgical implants, which causes serious morbidity and mortality as well as abnormalities of the skull and inadequate brain protection. We discuss infections linked to internal and external ventricular and lumbar cerebrospinal fluid drainages, neurostimulators, craniotomies, and cranioplasty in this article...

BACKGROUND: The clinical presentations of abusive head trauma can abruptly worsen, so the occurrence of seizures and changes of EEG can be variable according to patients' conditions. Since the changes of EEG background waves reflect the cortical function of children, we aimed to find out whether the timing of EEG background, epileptiform discharges and seizure patterns were associated with the outcomes of patients with AHT. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Using seizure type and acute stage electroencephalographic (EEG) characteristics to assess adverse neurological outcomes in children with seizures secondary to abusive head trauma (AHT)...

Despite efforts of many countries to improve pedestrian safety, international reports show an upward trend in pedestrian-motor vehicle accidents. Although the most common cause of death of pedestrians is head injuries, there is a lack of knowledge on the epidemiology and characteristics of head injury in terms of the Glasgow Outcome Scale to be used for prevention. However, this study aimed to determine the epidemiology of pedestrian-motor vehicle accidents, the characteristics of head injury, and differences in the Glasgow Outcome Scale in terms of gender...

Head trauma in the pediatric population carries a high rate of morbidity and mortality. The major causes of head trauma are related to falls, recreational activities, motor vehicle accidents, and gunshot wounds. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can occur after severe head trauma and is defined as an alteration in brain function, or other evidence of brain pathology, caused by an external force. Intracranial edema and herniation are common consequences of a TBI in pediatric patients and are commonly relieved via decompressive craniectomy...

Due to the anatomical proximity between the skull and the face, maxillofacial trauma can often cause injuries to cranial structures. Among these complications are carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCF), which are rare in maxillofacial trauma, although their etiology is usually traumatic. They are described as an atypical communication between the internal carotid artery and the cavernous sinus, which can generate a sudden change in the direction and distribution of blood flow between the brain and orbit. This paper aims to report a case of craniomaxillofacial trauma in which the patient evolved with diplopia, palpebral ptosis, and ophthalmoplegia of the left eye, diagnosed as traumatic CCF...

Syringomyelia is a center-medullary syndrome characterized by the presence of fluid-filled spaces known as syrinx within the spinal canal. Arnold Chiari Malformation (CM-I), a rhombencephalon anomaly formerly identified as hindbrain hernia, is usually associated with it. This disorder causes the brain (cerebellum) to bulge through the opening in the skull known as the foramen magnum. Some asymptomatic patients may develop symptoms quickly if they jolt their heads and cough for a lengthy period of time...

Spontaneous acute epidural hematoma (AEDH) co-occurring with metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) of the skull is rare, with only 7 documented cases in existing literature. This report describes the case of a 42-year-old man who presented with decreased consciousness following intermittent headaches following minor head trauma. Computed tomography imaging revealed an AEDH, prompting surgical intervention. Despite preliminary assumptions linking the causes of the trauma, surgical exploration revealed no evidence of traumatic injury...

Fire deaths are not unusual in forensic investigative practice but due to the destructive nature of fire they are often very difficult to investigate. With the need to identify the deceased and the events surrounding the manner and cause of death, knowledge of thermally induced alteration to the human body is important. Within the fire investigation community, a number of misconceptions have been present for years regarding the protrusion of the tongue as an indicator of life during the fire, and fractured skulls as the result of brains boiling and skulls exploding...
