hemorragie cerebral

Background: Envenomation by snakebite is a public health problem in developing countries. Neurovascular complications are uncommon. We report two cases of hemorrhagic stroke at the Sourô Sanou Teaching Hospital in Bobo-Dioulasso, which complicate an envenomation. Clinical description: The first patient was a 60-year-old woman with no history, who had been admitted 2 hours after snakebite for gingivorrhagia and consciousness disorders. Clinical examination found coma (GCS 7/15) and tetraparesis...

BACKGROUND: The role research can play in neurosurgical care is poorly understood. The result is that inappropriate methods are frequently used in clinical research, and unverifiable neurosurgical care is widely practised. METHODS: We review the research questions and the methods used in two landmark studies on the surgical treatment of ruptured aneurysms. We then compare the explanatory approach with the more appropriate pragmatic approach, and explain the difference by analogy with the ancient medical dispute between dogmatists and empiricists...

Intracerebral hemorrhage accounts for approximately 15% of the 115,000 strokes occurring each year in France. Although therapeutic strategies are more limited than for ischemic stroke, major points in the management of intracerebral hemorrhage can reduce short term morbidity and mortality by limiting the expansion of the hematoma and the occurrence of early complications, and long term patients' outcome by reducing the risk of recurrence. This article aims to update the key elements that contribute to improve of the prognosis of intracerebral hemorrhage patients...

INTRODUCTION: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a serious pathology, associated with 43% mortality and significant disability. In the absence of relevant guidelines, some teams advocate that patients harboring an unruptured intracranial aneurysm (ICA) abstain from all sports activity, as a prophylactic precaution. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of physical activity as a risk factor for SAH, through a review of the literature. METHOD: A systematic literature review was performed for the period 2000 to 2020 in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines...

INTRODUCTION: Sexual activity is composed of different phases (excitation, plateau, resolution). Each phase is associated with cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular and hormonal modification which can have an influence on the nervous system. This impact has been studied many times in literature, but no study has synthetized the complications related to coitus or orgasm. METHOD: Systematic review of literature on neurological complications, except headache, of coitus based on Medline and Embase...

L'électrisation est un évènement accidentel qui diffère des autres pathologies occasionnant des brûlures graves, à cause de ses spécificités qui traduisent d'une part la destruction du revêtement cutané, mais également les effets directs ou indirects du courant électrique sur tout tissu de l'organisme rencontré lors de son passage, en particulier le tissu nerveux. Les manifestations neurologiques centrales sont nombreuses, en relation avec les effets de l'électricité sur le parenchyme cérébral ou une lésion associée à l'électrisation...

The case of a 14-year-old girl who had severe subarachnoid bleeding as the first manifestation of a benign astrocytic tumor of the lateral aspect of the third ventricle is reported. Tumors that cause bleeding are usually neuroectodermal tumors in children and malignant tumors in adults. A review of the literature serves as the basis for a discussion of the frequency of bleeding as the first manifestation of brain tumors (1 to 10%) and of the pathogenesis of these hemorragies for which three theories (vascular, mechanical, and metabolic) have been put forward...
