Basioccipital bone osteochondroma growing into the foramen magnum
(2012)
Background: Osteochondroma is a common bone tumor and rarely affects the central nervous system. Although intraspinal osteochondromas are known to cause neurological deficits, intracranial osteochondromas with neurological ...
Embryology of the craniocervical junction and posterior cranial fossa, part II: Embryogenesis of the hindbrain.
(2018)
Although pathology of the hindbrain and its derivatives can have life altering effects on a patient, a comprehensive review on its embryology is difficult to find in the peer-reviewed medical literature. Therefore, this ...
Mapping the Internal Anatomy of the Lateral Brainstem: Anatomical Study with Application to Far Lateral Approaches to Intrinsic Brainstem Tumors.
(2017)
Intramedullary brainstem tumors present a special challenge to the neurosurgeon. Unfortunately, there is no ideal part of the brainstem to incise for approaches to such pathology. Therefore, the present study was performed ...
Association of cystathionine beta-synthase polymorphisms and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage
(2018)
OBJECTIVE Cystathionine b-synthase (CBS) is involved in homocysteine and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) metabolism. Both products have been implicated in the pathophysiology of cerebrovascular diseases. The impact of CBS polymorphisms ...
Cervical osteochondroma with neurological symptoms: literature review and a case report.
(2017)
Osteochondromas are common benign tumors of bone and spinal involvement is uncommon. Solitary spinal osteochondromas may produce a wide variety of symptoms depending on their location and relationship to adjacent neural ...
The role of endothelial nitric oxide synthase -786آ T/C polymorphism in cardiac instability following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
(2017)
Cardiac abnormalities are observed frequently after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). A subset of aSAH patients develops neurogenic cardiomyopathy, likely induced by catecholamine excess. Genetic polymorphisms of ...
Associations of Endothelin Polymorphisms and Aneurysm Size at Time of Rupture.
(2017)
Aneurysm size is an important risk factor for aneurysm rupture. The pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying aneurysm growth remain poorly understood. Endothelin signaling is critical for cerebrovascular blood flow regulation. ...
Association of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor 1 (SERPINE1) Polymorphisms and Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.
(2017)
Genetic variations of the serine proteinase inhibitor family E member 1 (SERPINE1) gene, which encodes plasminogen activator inhibitor 1, correlate with serum levels of its product and are associated with thrombophilia and ...
Are the systemic arterial blood, intracranial and intraocular pressures co-regulated?
(2013)
In this chapter, the physiological maintenance of intracranial pressure (ICP) andintraocular pressure (IOP) and their pathophysiological aspects are presented withemphasis on glaucoma and head trauma as two conditions ...
