Intensive Care Unit Management of Meningitis and Encephalitis.
Meningitis and encephalitis are neurologic emergencies that require rapid recognition and treatment. Prompt diagnosis and administration of antimicrobials, alongside adjuvant steroids in select cases, are crucial for treatment and improvement in outcomes. Severe complications of meningitis and encep…
Long-Term Intracranial and Ophthalmologic Outcomes in Single Suture Craniosynostosis.
Long-term intracranial and ophthalmologic sequelae are incompletely characterized for single suture craniosynostosis at a population level. Prior studies are limited by small cohorts and short follow-up. A retrospective cohort study was performed using the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS)…
Natural History of Bone Formation Following Venous Sinus Stenting.
Venous sinus stenting has emerged as a potential effective treatment for pulsatile tinnitus (PT) and idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) secondary to venous sinus stenosis. Bone formation adjacent to the stent has been described in isolated case reports, but it has remained underexplored. Thi…
Fulminant idiopathic intracranial hypertension presenting as sudden bilateral vision loss.
Fulminant idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is an uncommon, rapidly progressive form of IIH characterised by an acute decline in vision over days to weeks. It is a neuro-ophthalmic emergency in which immediate effective treatment is imperative to prevent irreversible optic nerve injury and…
Obstructive sleep apnea and idiopathic intracranial hypertension: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
To determine the pooled prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) among adults with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) using polysomnography (PSG) and the Berlin Questionnaire screening. IIH is a vision-threatening disorder characterized by elevated intracranial pressure. OSA shares overla…
MRI-based evaluation of cerebrospinal fluid dynamics and optic nerve subarachnoid space alterations in idiopathic intracranial hypertension and normal tension glaucoma: a systematic review.
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and normal tension glaucoma (NTG) are optic nerve-related disorders linked to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) abnormalities but driven by distinct mechanisms. Continuity between the intracranial and optic nerve subarachnoid spaces allows CSF pressure and flow alt…
Optical coherence tomography measurement of retinal layers above the peripapillary hyperreflective ovoid mass-like structure in true papilloedema and pseudo-papilloedema.
Discriminating between true papilloedema and pseudo-papilloedema is crucial, as true papilloedema can be both vision- and life-threatening. To test a simple method for differentiating pseudo-papilloedema from true papilloedema in patients with peripapillary hyperreflective ovoid mass-like structures…
