Factors Associated with Ventricular Dilatation after Spontaneous Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Acute ventricular dilatation is an important complication of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrage(SAH). We studied several factors possibly related to ventricular dilatation following SAH in 110patient. We concluded the followings: 1) The incidence of ventricular dilatation was increased as the clinical status on ad mission was aggravated. 2) The incldence of ventricular dilatation was increased with associated IVH or ICH and IVH 3) Cerebral angiography(95 cases) revealed the anterior communicating artery(ACOM) to be the most common site of aneurysm in 39 cases(46.2 %) and in the cases with ventricular dilatation ACOM was also the most common site of aneurysm in l8 cases. 4) The incidence of ventricular dilatation was high in the cases with the history of hypertension, and more high blood pressure on admission, especially the systolic blood pressure, there were more cases of ventricular dilatation. 5) There were more cases of ventricular dilatation in the hyponatremia. 6) The mortality of the 110 patients of SAH was 22.7%(25 cases), and in the group of ventricular dilatation the mortality was 34.1%.

A Clinical Study on Neglect Syndrome in Unilateral Hemispheric Lesion

We investigated 97 right-handed comprehensive patients with unilateral hemispheric lesion confirmed by computed tomogram, to evaluate the presence of neglect syndrome by using tests of visual neglect, auditory extinction, and somesthetic extinction. The results are as follows: 1.Neglect syndrome was noted in 38.8% of right hemispheric lesion and 25.6% of left hemispheric lesion, the frequency of neglect syndrome was higher in new lesion(less than 1 month) than old(over than 1 month) and the common locations of neglect syndrome were parieto-occipital, temporo-parietal, fronto-temporo-parietal, and parietal in that order. 2. The severity of neglect syndrome showed higher correlations with right hemispheric lesion and new lesion, but without any significant correlation with the location of lesion.

A Case of Mononeuropathy Multiplex in Hypereosinophilic Syndrome

Hypereosinophilic syndrome comprises several disorders with the common features of prolonged eosinophilia of an undetectable cause and organ system dysfunction. It is likely that organ damage is due to infiltration by eosinophils or to eosinophil-derived products. We report a case of hypereosinophilic syndrome with multiple mononeuropathy verified by EMG, nerve conduction study, and biosy..
