concussion when she slipped and fell into a doorframe at work. DIAGNOSIS: Chronic Post Traumatic Headaches 12/19/15 Brain MRI report showed no acute intracranial abnormality. No acute infarct, hemorrhage, midline shift, mass-effect, or abnormal extra-axial collection was seen. 12/19/15 MRA Report demonstrated no focal stenosis or aneurysm in the intracranial vasculature. 12/16/15 Progress Report indicated that the patient wakes up with headaches. She mentioned headache in the frontal vertex or temporal

Key Points 1. Approach to the paediatric neurosurgical patient is different because of age-related changes in neurophysiology and cranial development. 2. The signs and symptoms of raised intracranial pressure in paediatric neurosurgical cases are age specific. 3. Blood loss due to surgery or tumor bleed into the cavity constitutes a major fraction of total blood volume in the paediatric population. 4. Capnography is the most feasible and safer method to monitor venous air embolism in children

The data, information, knowledge, wisdom continuum is applied in our practice daily. This continuum guide our practice in providing safe and competent nursing care to the public. Now, the continuum will be applied in my research on pain management in patients diagnosed with brain tumors. With that said, the continuum will aid with identifying relevant data and information in this research. While brainstorming ways that the knowledge can be utilized in my practice, the continuum will help in the

cases were also linked to a positive family history.[2] The risk is also increased during vigorous activities like physical exercise, Valsalva manoeuvre during defecation, micturition and sexual intercourse[19] relatively due to increased intracranial pressure associated with these mechanisms. Despite recent advancements of SAH management, neurologic deficits secondary to cerebral

Obstacles Makes the Person Not Define Them “The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.”- Molière. We have all faced some kind of obstacle in life. When the obstacle pushes us to are limit we tend to give up. But what I have found is if do everything in your power to overcome the challenge you will fill better inside and out. This is the story about the time I faced the biggest obstacle in my life. I will tell you about the obstacle its self,the treatments I went through,and

NEUROSURGERY The Division of Neurosurgery at the University Of Arizona, Department of Surgery treats a full range of surgical diseases that affect the central and peripheral nervous systems and conditions affecting the skull, brain, spinal cord, spine, and peripheral nerves. In addition to providing the highest level of neurosurgical care, the division’ surgeons advance neurosurgery knowledge and practice through research and innovation. Below is a synopsis of the Neurosurgery division‘s research

Introduction The purpose of this paper is to reflect on a specific clinical experience, in hope to increase personal and professional agency to meet the College of Nurses of Ontario standards. Reflecting on this clinical situation will aid in the theme of integration of the professional self into the health care system. I will start off with looking back at the situation, and then elaborate in more detail objectively and subjectively. After identifying the relevant factors of the event, I will go

Discussion History In 1890, a German physician named Quicke described a neurological condition in which patients had signs and symptoms of increased intracranial pressure without a brain tumor being present [1]. Between 1927 and 1937, Dr. Dandy, a pioneer of neurosurgery was able to gather the most common signs and symptoms of 22 patients with pseudotumor cerebri [2]. These symptoms included headache, nausea, vomiting, diplopia, dizziness, and loss of vision. It is important to note that the

oduction Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a disorder of unknown etiology that primarily affects young, obese women (1,5). In idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) there is raised pressure within the skull (raised intracranial pressure), which puts pressure on the brain. Idiopathic means that the cause of this raised pressure is unknown. The main symptoms are headache and loss of sight (visual loss). It mostly affects women of childbearing age who are overweight or obese. Treatment

RESULTS Patient Demographics: Seventy three patients (81%) were males and the remaining 17 (19%) were females. Sex distribution among the studied groups is shown in (Table 1). Road traffic accidents were by far the most common cause of trauma 63%, followed by localized head trauma 20% and fall from a height 10%. APOE ϵ4 allele was expressed in 18 patients (20%) and the remaining 72 patients (80%) were negative for this allele. Initial CT brain Findings: Normal CT brain, small hematoma with no mid
