Chapter
Computed Tomography and/ or Ventriculography?
In spite of the introduction of CT some clinics today are still using ventriculography with positive water-soluble contrast medium in order to diagnose space-occupying intracranial lesions.

Chapter
The Diagnosis of Brain Edema by Computed Tomography
Axial computed tomography is an X-ray technique which for the first time enables minimal differences in the X-ray absorption of intracranial soft tissue to be measured exactly and their spatial distribution to...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Magnetic Resonance Tomography of Solid Spinal Cord Tumors with Extensive Secondary Syringomyelia
Space-occupying lesions of the spinal cord and lower medulla oblongata still represent a clinical and diagnostic challenge to the neurosurgeon, and up until very recently a preoperative diagnosis of the tumor’...

Chapter
Influence of Body Position on Jugular Venous Oxygen Saturation, Intracranial Pressure and Cerebral Perfusion Pressure
Elevation of the head as a common practice to reduce raised intracranial pressure (ICP) has been discussed controversially of late. Some investigators were able to show that besides lowering ICP head elevation...

Chapter
Monitoring of Jugular Venous Oxygen Saturation in Comatose Patients with Subarachnoid Haemorrhage and Intracerebral Haematomas
To prevent secondary cerebral ischaemia in comatose patients it would be of great importance to assess cerebral blood flow. Recently monitoring of the jugular venous oxygen saturation (SJVO2) has been shown to co...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Treatment of Traumatic Brain Edema by Multiple Doses of Mannitol
Mannitol is frequently used to reduce elevated intracranial pressure often associated with brain edema. In cases of a damaged blood-brain barrier, however, mannitol might aggravate vasogenic cerebral edema, as...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Episodes of Cerebral Maloxygenation in Comatose Patients
Prevention of secondary cerebral ischemia is a main objective in the treatment of comatose patients. In spite of considerable progress made by monitoring of intracranial pressure (ICP), arterial blood pressure...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Development of Traumatic Brain Edema in Old versus Young Rats
Age is an important factor of mortality and morbidity following traumatic brain injury. The causes for the adverse effect of old age remain obscure. The aim of this study was to clarify whether age affects the...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Dynamics of Posttraumatic Brain Swelling Following a Cryogenic Injury in Rats
For evaluation of novel therapeutic regimens against brain edema in experimental models, it is important to know the temporal profile of edema formation. Since development of brain swelling and edema following...

21-Aminosteroid U-74389F Reduces Vasogenic Brain Edema
21 -Aminosteroids have been shown to attenuate neuronal damage and to improve neurological outcome after experimental ischemia. The aim of this study was to determine whether brain edema induced by a cryogenic...

Clinical, radiological and histological findings in desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma
The clinical course and radiological and histological findings in a 30-month-old boy suffering from desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma are reported. The child's development was normal until a series of compl...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Validation of Monitoring of Cerebral Oxygenation by Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in Comatose Patients
Secondary ischemic brain damage is a common event in patients with severe brain injuries, and is often verified at autopsy, for example, following severe head injury. It is widely accepted that secondary brain...

Article
Continuous monitoring of jugular bulb oxygen saturation in comatose patients — Therapeutic implications
Comatose patients run a high risk of develo** cerebral ischaemia which may considerably influence final outcome. It would therefore be extremely useful if one could monitor cerebral blood flow in these patie...

Article
Initial clinical experience with spiral CT and 3D arterial reconstruction in intracranial aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations
We studied 32 consecutive patients with known or suspected cerebrovascular abnormalities studied with spiral CT following a intravenous bolus injection of iodinated contrast medium with a power injector. Flow ...

Effect of Tromethamine (THAM) on Infarct Volume Following Permanent Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion in Rats
This study investigates the influence on tromethamine (THAM) on ischemic volume induced by permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in rats.

Chapter
Monitoring of Cerebral Oxygenation in Traumatic Brain Injured Patients
For many years, the sequel of traumatic brain injury distinguished between primary and secondary damage. Primary damage, caused by the physical forces associated with the trauma, occurs more or less instantly ...

Article
Different release of cytokines into the cerebrospinal fluid following surgery for intra- and extra-axial brain tumours
To elucidate the role of cytokines in brain repair processes and in local inflammation after neurosurgical procedures, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from 8 patients with intra-axial tumours and 8 patients ...

Cerebral Oxygenation in Contusioned vs. Nonlesioned Brain Tissue: Moniting of PtiO2 with Licox and Paratrend
Brain tissue PO2 in severely head injured patients was monitored in parallel with two different PO2-microsensors (Licox and Paratrend). Three different locations of sensor placement were chosen: (1) both catheter...
