Isolated Caudate Nucleus Hemorrhage During The Acute Period Of Stroke, Selçuk Çomoğlu, Şenay Özbakir

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Caudate hemorrhage is a rare stroke syndrome that accounts for only 3-7% of all primary intracerebral hematomas. In this study, we evaluated eight patients with isolated caudate nucleus hemorrhage for their clinical presentation and neurological findings. Material and methods: Eight patients, who were admitted to our department with isolated caudate nucleus hemorrhage, were evaluated for their clinical presentation and present risk factor findings on neurological examination and prognosis. Results: The most common symptoms on admission were headache and vomiting (five patients), whereas the most common findings on neurological examination were unconsciousness and neck stiffness (four patients). Two patients who were …

Detrusor Hyperreflexia In Stroke, Zafer Aybek, Türker Şahi̇ner, Atilla Oğuzhanoğlu, Levent Tuncay Jan 1998

Detrusor Hyperreflexia In Stroke, Zafer Aybek, Türker Şahi̇ner, Atilla Oğuzhanoğlu, Levent Tuncay

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

In this study detrusor hyperreflexia was investigated by urodynamic study during the acute phase of stroke in patients who became incontinent after a cerebrovascular accident. Urodynamic studies reveal physiopathological findings of incontinence while the acute period of cerebrovascular accident do not cover neurogenic bladder features. In our study it was observed that most of the patients (60%) had normal bladder functions and detrusor hyperreflexia was a rare rindings. This result is consistent with the other studies in literature.

The Study On Cognitive Function In Stroke Patients, Shih-Pin Chao, Shich-Fu Wu Jun 1997

The Study On Cognitive Function In Stroke Patients, Shih-Pin Chao, Shich-Fu Wu

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is a simple and effective bed-side screening test for cognitive function. Cognitive defect is frequently encountered clinically in stroke patients, but several sophisticated cognitive function tests are not proper for them. MMSE is used as a tool to investigate the correlation between cognitive function and the severity of brain damage of the stroke patient. A total of 65 patients, who had developed hemiplegia, hemiparesis or cerebellar dysfunction as a result of cerebral vascular disease, were collected in this study. All patients had received MMSE, motor status examination of affected limbs, and brain CT within 3 weeks …

Reconstructive Intracranial Vascular Surgery, John M. Tew Jr. Jan 1974

Reconstructive Intracranial Vascular Surgery, John M. Tew Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

It is scarcely less than two decades since the initial cautious explorations of reconstructive surgery for the prevention of cerebral infarction caused by extracranial vascular disease began. The next years recorded an accumulative experience in the field of vascular surgery. Early clinical investigations led to the discovery that extracranial vascular disease is a major cause of cerebral infarction or stroke. Estimates indicate, however, that only 30-40% of the patients with cerebrovascular insufficiency have significant extracranial occlusive disease. For this larger group of patients, previous surgical methods offer no hope. It is the purpose of this report to review the current …
