Cerebral aneurysm: a weak spot in a blood vessel of the brain Arteriovenous malformation(AVM): an abnormal cluster of blood vessels Tumors Swelling of the brain (cerebral edema) Causes of swelling of the brain Infections Chemical imbalances Traumatic injuries Problems with the flow of cerebrospinal ...
Cerebral aneurysm and subarachnoid hemorrhage. An aneurysm, or a weakened area in a blood vessel wall, can expand and leak a small amount of blood causing what is called a sentinel headache. This may be a warning sign of a future catastrophic bleed into the brain. Carotid artery inflammation...
The purpose of this study was to compare packing of cerebral aneurysms treated with two types of coils with different wire thickness and different shapes. METHODS: Packing, defined as the ratio between the volume of inserted coils and the volume of an aneurysm, was calculated for 144 cerebral ...
Bleedinganeurysm Pituitary adenomasare common benign tumors that grow in the sella turcica, where the pituitary gland Both lesions and tumors in the brain represent abnormal areas, but they are not the same. A lesion is a broad term that refers to any abnormal tissue or damage in the brain, ...
Bleeding of a blood vessel in the brain causes ahemorrhagic stroke. Sometimes the rupture of abrain aneurysmcauses bleeding. Extreme changes in blood pressure may trigger the rupture of a brain aneurysm. Sometimes a region of the brain that has been damaged by ischemia can bleed within the firs...

Meningitis: Infection of the tissue surrounding the brain Encephalitis: Infection of the brain tissue Electrolyte abnormalities in the blood: Especially sodium, potassium, or calcium A brain hemorrhage: Bleeding in the brain Vascular abnormalities:Brain aneurysm(outpouching of a blood vessel) or arterio...
instance in a family and may be attributable to a new mutation. Death is usually due toheart failureor an aneurysm of the aorta. A normal life span is possible with medications that control blood pressure; surgical replacement of the aorta may also prolong an affected individual’s life span...
Advent of Guglielmi detachable coils in 1995 permitted endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms. Coiling is efficacious and safe, but durability needs improvement, as nearly 20% of patients require further invasive intervention secondary to aneurysm recurrence. The aim of this study is to develop ...
Astrokeis the disruption of brain activity which arises with loss of circulation to the brain leading to damage and death of brain tissue. It is also known by the now outdated term,cerebrovascular accident (CVA), although terms such ascerebrovascular diseaseandcerebral infarctionare preferred. It ...
