RESUMO
Cavernous malformation (CM) is a type of vascular malformation that is an important cause of intracerebral hemorrhage. However, because CM is a low-flow vascular malformation, the occurrence of major hemorrhage is rare. We present two patients with deep ganglionic intracerebral hemorrhage that caused a significant mass effect, mimicking hypertensive hemorrhage. In both cases, we performed evacuation of the hematoma as a lifesaving treatment and made a pathological diagnosis of CM. In conclusion, preoperative diagnosis of CM using any kind of radiological evaluation is difficult, especially in patients with major hemorrhage. The possibility of CM should be remembered in cases with deep ganglionic intracerebral hemorrhage.
RESUMO
Terahertz (THz) waves at 9.7, 10.1 and 10.6 THz were generated via difference frequency generation in high-quality InxG1-xaSe mixed crystals with a relatively high indium compositions (x = 0.040, 0.048, 0.074) grown from an indium flux. The phase-matching angle for THz wave generation was measured for each indium content. As a result, it is confirmed that the incident angle of the excitation light satisfying the phase-matching condition is shifted to a higher angle with an increase in the indium content.
