A huge frontal meningioma associated with intraoperative massive bleeding and severe brain swelling--case report. Journal of clinical neuroscience : official journal of the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia, 2001, Volume: 8 Suppl 1 A 58 year old female presented with progressive memory disturbance and personality change. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging disclosed a huge mass lesion accompanied by prominent oedema in the right frontal lobe. Cerebral angiogram demonstrated a vascular-rich tumour and a major drainer through diploic vein. A right frontotemporal craniotomy was performed. We encountered massive bleeding from diploic vein and dura mater immediately at the craniotomy. We were also faced with severe brain swelling at the dural incision. The tumour was solid, highly vascularised, and fairly well demarcated. We performed total removal of the tumour as quickly as possible in order to reduce the intracranial hypertension and avoid the impending brain herniation. The patient had an uneventful recovery and was asymptomatic at 10 months follow-up.

[Barbiturate therapy in 16 cases with intracranial lesion with special reference to the indication and limitation]. Journal of UOEH, 1987, Jun-01, Volume: 9, Issue:2 The effects and indications of barbiturate therapy for brain protection, and prevention and reduction of the intracranial hypertension were investigated using an ultrashort acting barbiturate, thiamylal, in sixteen cases with intracranial lesions. Final outcome of the treatment revealed 8 good recoveries which were actively administered thiamylal during operation or immediately after. On the other hand, four cases, whose intracranial pressures (ICPS) of over 40 mmHg could not be controlled suffered brain death. Barbiturate therapy was not effective for brain protection of primary damaged lesions. It is concluded that barbiturate therapy may provide a satisfactory reduction of the intracranial hypertension in cases during the early postoperative stage or of under 40 mmHg initial ICP. Topics: Adolescent; Adult; Aged; Brain Edema; Brain Injuries; Brain Neoplasms; Cerebral Hemorrhage; Child, Preschool; Female; Humans; Intracranial Aneurysm; Intracranial Arteriovenous Malformations; Male; Middle Aged; Postoperative Complications; Pseudotumor Cerebri; Thiamylal; Thiopental	1987
