Continuous ICP monitoring is usually applied to the patients with head injury, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral tumor, etc.
Children with an IQ lower than 80 and/or with a history of neurological problems (e.g. epilepsy, head injuries, cerebral palsy, or cerebral malaria) were excluded.
Children with IQ lower than 80 and/or with a history of neurological problems (e.g. epilepsy, head injuries, cerebral palsy, or cerebral malaria) were excluded.
Continuous EEG monitoring help manage therapy in head injury, cerebral ischemia infarctions, and hemorrhage-related vasospasm.
All patients underwent an evaluation that included head imaging, cerebral angiography, and treatment for the underlying aneurysm.
There are rare cases where a single hit to the head causes cerebral hemorrhaging (more on that in a moment).
The reasons for coma were intracranial hemorrhagia, head trauma, cerebral anoxia.
Patients were excluded if they had head trauma, cerebral vessel disease and were 16 years of age or younger.
Although this patient had classic signs of meningitis without encephalitis, the CT scan of the head showed cerebral involvement.
The first one comprises inflammatory disorders of the brain including traumatic head injury, cerebral vasospasm like subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), multiple sclerosis, meningitis, and brain reperfusion injury [ 29, 63].
In a patient with BM after a severe head injury, cerebral glucose decreased below the detection limit, combined with moderately high lactate levels and a marked increase in glutamate and pyruvate [ 8].
