Article Abstract

Spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage is a commonly encountered neurologic emergency. Imaging plays important roles in both guiding the emergent stabilization of patients with ICH and in elucidating the etiology of the hemorrhage to prevent rebleeding. A thorough understanding of the factors that have an impact on immediate management, the causes of hemorrhage, and the strengths of various imaging techniques in addressing these 2 concerns is vital to crafting a patient-centered approach to this condition.

Background: Intracranial hypotension (IH) is a secondary headache syndrome that can result from spontaneous or iatrogenic CSF leaks. Subdural hematomas (SDHs) are a particularly dangerous sequela of IH. Although epidural blood patch (EBP) is a recognized treatment for IH, its use in pediatric patients with SDH as a solitary intervention has not been reported.

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is caused by cerebrospinal fluid leak and has an incidence of approximately five per 100,000 person-years. SIH leads to a range of clinical symptoms, from debilitating postural headaches to subdural hematomas (SDHs). The pathophysiology of the disease is not fully understood, but has garnered interest in recent years.

Importance: Current guidelines recommend against the routine use of seizure prophylaxis in acute spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH).

Objective: The goal of this study is to evaluate if the use of prophylactic levetiracetam resulted in reduced incidence of seizure, morbidity, and length of stay, compared to patients who did not receive prophylactic levetiracetam.

Design: This retrospective chart review includes patients admitted with ICH at Cleveland Clinic Florida Martin Health from January 2019 to October 2022.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate the association between masticatory muscle thickness and dysphagia in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients.

Materials & Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients with spontaneous ICH confirmed by brain computed tomography (CT) between June 2019 and June 2024 in a university-affiliated hospital. Temporal muscle thickness (TMT) and masseter muscle thickness (MMT) were measured on the initial brain CT.

Horner syndrome (HS), a rare complication of endoscopic thyroid surgery (ETS), manifests as ptosis, miosis, and anhidrosis resulting from oculosympathetic pathway disruption. This study explores HS etiology through two case reports and literature analysis. Case 1 involved a 43-year-old female who underwent unilateral thyroidectomy via a bilateral areolar approach for a thyroid oncocytic adenoma.
