The management of hydrocephalus associated with posterior fossa tumors in children has always been controversial. Studies show that 71%-90% of children with posterior fossa tumors already presented hydrocephalus on admission. Of these cases, 10%-62% will

Murine MPDZ-linked hydrocephalus is caused by hyperpermeability of the choroid plexus. [PDF]
Though congenital hydrocephalus is heritable, it has been linked only to eight genes, one of which is MPDZ Humans and mice that carry a truncated version of MPDZ incur severe hydrocephalus resulting in acute morbidity and lethality.

Extended endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach to the suprasellar area: Anatomic considerations - Part I [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Interest in using the extended endonasal transsphenoidal approach for management of suprasellar lesions, with either a microscopic or endoscopic technique, has increased in recent years.

Sequelae of premature birth in young adults [PDF]
Background and Purpose Qualitative studies about the abnormalities appreciated on routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences in prematurely born adults are lacking. This article aimed at filling this knowledge gap by (1) qualitatively describing

A case of recurrent epilepsy-associated rosette-forming glioneuronal tumor with anaplastic transformation in the absence of therapy. [PDF]
Rosette-forming glioneuronal tumor (RGNT) most commonly occurs adjacent to the fourth ventricle and therefore rarely presents with epilepsy. Recent reports describe RGNT occurrence in other anatomical locations with considerable morphologic and genetic ...

Analysis of left ventricular behaviour in diastole by means of finite element method [PDF]
The human left ventricle in diastole can be modelled as a passive structure with incremental internal pressure change being considered as the load. Recent developments in engineering stress analysis provide techniques for predicting the behaviour of ...

Evidence that conflict regarding size of haemodynamic response to interventricular delay optimization of cardiac resynchronization therapy may arise from differences in how atrioventricular delay is kept constant. [PDF]
Aims: Whether adjusting interventricular (VV) delay changes haemodynamic efficacy of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is controversial, with conflicting results.

Third Ventricle Immature Teratoma: A Case Report
We present the case of a 1-year-old girl with persistent vomiting who was found to have a disproportionately large immature teratoma in the third ventricle. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a heterogeneous intracranial mass in the third ventricle,

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy associated with severe left ventricular involvement in a cat. [PDF]
An 8-year-old, 4 kg, intact female, domestic shorthaired cat was referred for tachypnea and pleural effusion. A 24-h Holter recording showed numerous polymorphic ventricular premature complexes with left and right bundle branch block morphology ...
