简介:AbstractBackground:Dense exudate during the calcification ofcerebralcysticercosis in basal subarachnoid space was easy to be misdiagnosed as subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH); clinical evaluation and MRI can help differentiate SAH from pseudo-SAH.Case presentation:A case of ventricular expansion accompanied by high-density shadows in cisterna circinata cerebri was taken to the hospital for treatment due to sudden faint. This patient was diagnosed as subarachnoid hemorrhage according to computed tomography (CT) in another hospital. We believe that the high density in cisterna circinata cerebri was misdiagnosed as subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) 1 year ago. The main etiology of SAH is aneurysm; non-aneurysmal SAH associated withcerebralcysticercosis is extremely rare. Only 5 patients have been reported.Conclusion:This case indicated that although the specificity of CT for SAH is very high, the physicians should be aware of rare false positive findings, called pseudo-SAH.
简介:目的将为服的梗塞续发症观察温暖挖出的刺破方法的临床的效果。有在有包括标准的一致的服的梗塞续发症的六十个病人随机被划分成一个治疗组和控制的方法组织,在每个组的30个盒子。控制组被给西方的药的基本治疗。治疗组被增加,针灸治疗在西方的药的治疗之上基于。在由健康的国家研究所的治疗摸规模(NIHSS)前后,病人的神经病学的缺点被估计。结果显著药品率是83.3%,全部的有效的率在治疗组是93.3%,对56.7%和70.0%处于在二个组之间的显著药品率和全部的有效的率与统计差别在控制组织(P<0.05)。在治疗以后,NIHSS分数在两个组减少了(P<0.01或P<0.05),并且差别是统计的在二个组之间重要(P<0.01)。结论温暖挖出的刺破方法比在服的梗塞续发症的治疗的西方的药的单个治疗好。
