Vestibular schwannoma (VS) is a benign tumor that grows in Schwann cells of the eighth cranial nerve, and it can be treated by surgical removal or stereotactic radiosurgery including gamma knife surgery. Stereotactic radiosurgery for VS was first attempted in 1969 and has been one of the most active treatments in the last 40 years. The main side effects include facial paralysis, hearing loss, trigeminal neuralgia, and hemifacial spasm [1]. In addition, hydrocephalus is a potential concomitant disease [2-4]. In this article, we report a case of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) Normal pressure hydrocephalus after gamma knife radiosurgery in a patient with vestibular schwannoma

Accurate neurological prognostication after brain injury can be exceedingly challenging. In the setting of numerous confounders, such as multi-drug intoxication or overdose, predicting neurological outcomes becomes even more difficult. We describe a case of an intentional overdose of multiple medications, specifically involving bupropion, complicated by cardiopulmonary arrest, renal Bupropion overdose as a clinically significant confounder of the neurological examination

Fever is probably the most frequent symptom observed in the neurointensive care unit (NICU) by healthcare providers. An oral temperature greater than 37.5°C is considered a fever [1,2]. Hyperpyrexia is usually a diagnosis of exclusion, with temperatures exceeding 41°C and nonresponsiveness to antipyretic treatment [3,4]. Fever is seen in almost 70% of neurocritically ill patients [5-10]. Fever of central origin was first described by in the journal Brain by Erickson [11] in 1939.

Cefepime, a fourth-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, was approved for use in 1996. It is widely used to treat severe bacterial infections because it acts against both gram-negative and gram-positive bacterial strains, and has antipseudomonal activity. Safety data of cefepime in clinical trials were relatively favorable when initially approved. Approximately 3% of 2,032 patients treated with cefepime experienced adverse central nervous system (CNS) effects including headache (2.4%), dizziness (0.7%), and Cefepime-induced neurotoxicity

Vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD) is an arteriopathy resulting in pathological elongation, twisting, and dilatation of the vertebrobasilar artery. Dolichoectasia mostly occurs in the posterior cerebral circulation, but it can also occur in the anterior cerebral circulation; the basilar artery is involved in >80% of cases. As the basilar artery gives off several branches at large angles, and the shearing forces are greater at the branching points, VBD can occur [1,2]. CASE REPORT

located within or near the walls of the CS. Transvenous embolization is considered to be an effective treatment for CS DAVF. We describe a novel technique for the use of transvenous Onyx embolization in the treatment of CS DAVF, which uses a temporary balloon to occlude the arterial side for flow control. Case Report: A 63-year-old woman presented with ocular pain and ptosis of the left eye. Cerebral angiography showed a left CS DAVF fed by multiple branches of the left external carotid artery. We successfully treated the CS DAVF using transvenous Onyx embolization with temporary balloon occlusion of the proximal feeding artery to decrease the shunted flow. Conclusion: Transvenous Onyx embolization with flow control via temporary balloon occlusion may be a useful technique for the embolization of CS DAVFs with multiple arterial feeders.
