it can be the result of acerebospinal fluid (CSF)leak. This is the fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. CSF leaks usually happen after a traumatic injury. Large amounts of clear CSF can mean damage to the skull, brain, or spine.3 ...
Intraventricular hemorrhage.In this case, bleeding happens within the ventricles of your brain -- the little chambers that typically contain cerebral spinal fluid. That may damage your nerve cells and lead to lasting brain injury. Intraventricular hemorrhage is more common in premature babies or babies...
Paralysis is most often caused by strokes, usually from a blockedarteryin your neck or brain. It also can be caused by damage to your brain or spinal cord, the kind that can happen in a car accident, fall, or sports injury, or as a result of a gunshot wound. Some people are paralyz...
It mixes with the cerebrospinal fluid that cushions the brain and spinal cord. As blood flows into the cerebral spinal fluid, it increases the pressure that surrounds the brain. The increased pressure can interfere with brain function. In the days that immediately follow the bleeding, chemical ...
Some infants will display symptoms of cerebral palsy but will not have the disorder. Cerebral palsy symptoms mimic other health issues, such as neurological diseases and spinal cord injuries. It’s important to let your doctor test and diagnose your baby, not only to determine if your baby has...
Secondary headaches are caused by an underlying condition such as a brain tumor, brain injury, aneurysm, stroke, seizure, infection and inflammation in the brain, eye disorders, spinal fluid leak, increase in intracranial pressure, or neurological conditions such as trigeminal neuralgia. Causes of a...
Spinal deformities Joint problems Cerebral palsy affects over 500,000 people in the U.S.There is no cure, but treatments and therapies can make a big difference. CP Quick Facts Cerebral palsy is a group of neurological disorders and disabilities, not just one condition, and all can cause some...
To evaluate the infectious etiologies, clinical features, and outcomes of patients with CNS infections at a tertiary care center. Patients that present with a pleocytosis in the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF), defined as a CSF WBC count > 5 cells/mm(3), from July 2015 to June 2016 at a ...
Some medical causes of this form of bleeding include: Hypertension (high blood pressure): when blood pressure is too high, and not controlled, blood vessels in the brain may not be able to tolerate the high pressure and may leak blood into the brain, subarachnoid space, or both. Cerebral ...
To determine the cerebral vascular BBB damage and neuronal damage by shock wave, we have analyzed blood serum samples from control and animals exposed to the blast with 60–130 kPa peak overpressure for the presence of human neuron-specific enolase (NSE/gamma enolase). The experiments were per...
