[Ocular signs of increased intracranial pressure]

25 Sep 2009 Ocular signs developing as a result of increased intracranial pressure help the early diagnosis and prevention of severe and progressive pathological processes. Functional signs of the forming papillary oedema and central eye movement disorders may ... Read more...

Comparative study of neck pain in relation to increase of cervical epidural pressure during percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy.

30 Aug 2009 STUDY DESIGN: A prospective study. OBJECTIVE: By monitoring cervical epidural pressure (EP) changes throughout the procedure, we intend to discover the effect of percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) on cervical epidural pressure and ... Read more...

Long-term outcome of subcutaneously preserved autologous cranioplasty.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: Decompressive craniectomy for intracranial hypertension mandates later cranioplasty. Autologous cranioplasties can be preserved either by freezing or placement in a subcutaneous pocket. There are few data on the long-term follow-up of ... Read more...
