Multiple intracranial aneurysms (MIA) are relatively common, occurring in approximately 23% of all patients with aneurysms. The risk factors include female gender, hypertension, smoking and family history possibly intracranial aneurysms or cerebrovascular disease. The ruptured aneurysm location can be determined with a high accuracy rate with digital angiography when used in conjunction with computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR)
Epidermoid cysts are tumors of embryological origin that are located in cerebellopontine angle in third place after schwannomas and meningiomas. Three cases of trigeminal neuralgia in relation to epidermoid cysts of the cerebellopontine angle compressing the trigeminal
nerve are presented. Clinical presentation, diagnostic studies, surgical treatment and postoperative results are discussed.
The authors carried out a study of 25 patients with unstable spine in order to determine their clinical outcome after dynamic stabilization of the spine at the neurosurgery spine service at HNERM during the period January 2012 to October 2013. Dynamic stabilization has demonstrated efficacy in pain control with a minimum length of hospitalization.
The authors studied patients with diagnosis of intraparenchymal hemorrhage (ICH) hospitalized at the National Institute of Neurological Science from Jan 2008 to Dec 2010 in order to determine the clinical epidemiological characteristics of mortality. They found found that the factors associated with mortality by ICH were the presence of consciousness disorder, NIHSS scale score greater than 13, and ICH with ventricular involvement. No association was found between classical vascular risk factors, etiology or type of treatment.
