  2. Subarachnoid hemorrhage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subarachnoid_hemorrhage

    Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is bleeding into the subarachnoid space—the area between the arachnoid membrane and the pia mater surrounding the brain. [1] Symptoms may include a severe headache of rapid onset , vomiting, decreased level of consciousness , fever , weakness, numbness, and sometimes seizures . [ 1 ]

  3. Intracranial hemorrhage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracranial_hemorrhage

    A subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is bleeding into the subarachnoid space—the area between the arachnoid membrane and the pia mater surrounding the brain. Trauma can also cause SAH when the arteries and veins coursing through the subarachnoid space are ruptured.

  4. Meninges - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meninges

    The subarachnoid space is the space that normally exists between the arachnoid and the pia mater. It is filled with cerebrospinal fluid and continues down the spinal cord . Spaces are formed from openings at different points along the subarachnoid space; these are the subarachnoid cisterns , which are filled with cerebrospinal fluid.

  5. Intracerebral hemorrhage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracerebral_hemorrhage

    [1] [5] Anticoagulation should be reversed if possible and blood sugar kept in the normal range. [1] A procedure to place an external ventricular drain may be used to treat hydrocephalus or increased intracranial pressure, however, the use of corticosteroids is frequently avoided. [1] Sometimes surgery to directly remove the blood can be ...

  6. Subarachnoid cisterns - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subarachnoid_cisterns

    The subarachnoid cisterns are spaces formed by openings in the subarachnoid space, an anatomic space in the meninges of the brain. [1] The space is situated between the two meninges, the arachnoid mater and the pia mater. These cisterns are filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). [1]

  7. Intraocular lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraocular_lens

    If the natural lens is left in the eye, the IOL is known as phakic, otherwise it is a pseudophakic lens (or false lens). Both kinds of IOLs are designed to provide the same light-focusing function as the natural crystalline lens. [1] This can be an alternative to LASIK, but LASIK is not an alternative to an IOL for treatment of cataracts.

  8. Arachnoid mater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachnoid_mater

    CSF circulates in the subarachnoid space (between arachnoid and pia mater). Cerebrospinal fluid is produced by the choroid plexus (inside the ventricles of the brain, which are in direct communication with the subarachnoid space so the CSF can flow freely through the nervous system). Cerebrospinal fluid is a transparent, colourless fluid and it ...

  9. Meningitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meningitis

    The subarachnoid space separates the arachnoid and pia mater membranes and is filled with cerebrospinal fluid. The outermost membrane, the dura mater , is a thick durable membrane, which is attached to both the arachnoid membrane and the skull.
