  2. Subarachnoid hemorrhage - Wikipedia

    Medical condition Subarachnoid hemorrhage Other names Subarachnoid haemorrhage CT scan of the brain showing subarachnoid hemorrhage as a white area in the center (marked by the arrow) and stretching into the sulci to either side Pronunciation / ˌ s ʌ b ə ˈ r æ k n ɔɪ d ˈ h ɛ m ər ɪ dʒ / Specialty Neurosurgery, Neurology Symptoms Severe headache of rapid onset, vomiting, decreased ...

  3. Transcranial Doppler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcranial_Doppler

    The first uses "B-mode" imaging, which displays a 2-dimensional image of the skull, brain, and blood vessels as seen by the ultrasound probe. Once the desired blood vessel is found, blood flow velocities may be measured with a pulsed Doppler effect probe, which graphs velocities over time. Together, these make a duplex test. The second method ...

  4. Intracerebral hemorrhage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracerebral_hemorrhage

    Intraventricular hemorrhage, or bleeding into the ventricles of the brain, which may occur in 30–50% of patients, is also associated with long-term disability and a poor prognosis. [7] Brain herniation is associated with poor prognoses. [7]

  5. 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.

  6. Pseudosubarachnoid hemorrhage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudosubarachnoid_hemorrhage

    A pseudosubarachnoid hemorrhage is an apparent increased attenuation on CT scans within the basal cisterns that mimics a true subarachnoid hemorrhage. [1] This occurs in cases of severe cerebral edema , such as by cerebral hypoxia .

  7. Xanthochromia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanthochromia

    The most common cause for bleeding into the subarachnoid space is a subarachnoid hemorrhage from a ruptured cerebral aneurysm. [ 3 ] The most frequently employed initial test for subarachnoid hemorrhage is a computed tomography scan of the head, but it detects only 98% of cases in the first 12 hours after the onset of symptoms, and becomes less ...

  8. Lumbar puncture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumbar_puncture

    Examples of these conditions include meningitis and subarachnoid hemorrhage. It may also be used therapeutically in some conditions. Increased intracranial pressure (pressure in the skull) is a contraindication, due to risk of brain matter being compressed and pushed toward the spine.

  9. External ventricular drain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_ventricular_drain

    EVDs can be used to monitor intracranial pressure in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI), [4] subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), [5] intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), or other brain abnormalities that lead to increased CSF build-up. In draining the ventricle, the EVD can also remove blood products from the ventricular spaces.
