Injuries to the head may cause bleeding in the spaces between the meninges, the layers of tissue that surround the brain (subdural, epidural, and subarachnoid spaces) or within the brain tissue itself (intracerebral hemorrhage: intra=within + cerebral=brain, hemorrhage=bleeding). Edema or swelling...
Bleeding: Bleeding in the layers of the brain may cause a coma due to swelling and compression on the injured side of the brain. This compression causes the brain to shift, causing damage to the brainstem and the RAS (mentioned above). High blood pressure, ruptured cerebral aneurysms, and ...
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 ...

The incidence of AVM is approximately 1 case for every 100,000 births, affecting both men and women, and may happen before the age of 40. It is known to be the second identified cause leading to a subarachnoid hemorrhage after instances of cerebral aneurysms. ...
and emotion. The brain stem sits beneath the cerebrum and connects it to the spinal cord. The brain stem houses the structures that are responsible for the unconscious regulation of the body such as wakefulness, heart and lung functions, hunger, temperature control, and swallowing. The cerebellum...
