1. Measurement of extradural pressure and its relationship to other intracranial pressures: An experimental and clinical study

Disadvantages associated with the use of ventricular catheters for the prolonged measurement of intracranial pressure have resulted in the search for an alternative technique. Measurement of pressure from the extradural space is one such possibility, but widespread acceptance of this procedure has been limited by the technical difficulties associated with th

2. Extradural diamorphine in the control of pain following lumbar laminectomy.

Catheters were inserted into the extradural space under direct vision at the time of surgery for prolapsed intervertebral disc or lumbar canal stenosis. In the post-operative period, diamorphine (3 mg in 5 ml water) was injected through the catheter when patients requested analgesia. In only four of 49 patients was significant pain relief not achieved after

3. Extradural implantation of sacral anterior root stimulators.

A technique for extradural deafferentation of the S2 to S5 segments and extradural implantation of stimulating electrodes is described, and its application to twelve patients with spinal cord lesions is reported. Nine patients use their implants for micturition, and seven are fully continent. The advantages and disadvantages of this technique compared with t

4. Hematoma extradural do vértex: relato de caso

Relatamos caso incomum de um paciente de 37 anos com hematoma extradural traumático do vértex com sintomas de hipertensão intracraniana. O diagnóstico foi feito através da tomografia do crânio em cortes coronais e o paciente foi submetido a craniotomia com drenagem do hematoma.

5. Corpectomia lateral parcial associada à pediculectomia no tratamento de condroma extradural em um cão: descrição da técnica

Objetivou-se descrever detalhadamente a técnica cirúrgica de corpectomia lateral parcial associada à pediculectomia no tratamento de um condroma extradural in vitro. Uma cadela de 12 anos de idade, raça Cocker Spaniel, foi atendida com ataxia proprioceptiva dos membros pélvicos associada à compressão extradural entre a primeira e a segunda vértebras

6. Hemofilia e abuso infantil como possíveis causas de hematoma extradural: relato de caso

INTRODUÇÃO: Traumatismo crânio-encefálico é importante conseqüência de abuso infantil. Mecanismos fisiopatológicos específicos do abuso infantil são responsáveis pela ''whiplash shaken-baby syndrome'', o que favoreceria o aparecimento de hemorragias intracranianas. RELATO DE CASO: Relatamos o caso de uma criança que desenvolveu hematoma extradura

7. Abnormal brain scan with subacute extradural haematomas

Four patients are described with proven subacute extradural haematomas, each with an abnormal cerebral scan of diagnostic assistance. A possible mechanism of production of the subacute extradural haematoma is discussed, and appears to be similar to the mechanism involved in the subacute subdural haematoma. The means by which the abnormal scan results in such

8. Proptosis as a presenting sign of extradural haematoma.

A conscious 15-year-old boy presented with progressive proptosis and a severe headache 2 weeks after minor blunt trauma to the head. No neurological deficit was present. Computed tomography demonstrated intracranial and intraorbital cyst-like masses. At craniotomy a subacute extradural haematoma was found which communicated with an orbital subperiosteal haem

9. Chronic lumbar extradural haematoma simulating disc syndrome

Two patients presenting with a clinical picture of nerve root compression suggestive of the herniated disc syndrome are reported. In both the diagnosis proved to be chronic encapsulated extradural haematoma. Recognition of this entity at the time of surgical exposure should render the surgical dissection easier. The postoperative results in both were excelle

10. Extradural haemorrhage—a hazard of ventricular drainage

Three cases of extradural haematoma during ventricular drainage are reported and the relevant literature has been reviewed. Aetiology, diagnosis, and management are discussed. Defective blood clotting is mentioned as a possible precipitating factor.

11. Conservative management of intracranial extradural haematoma presenting late.

Three patients with intracranial extradural haematomas presenting several days after injury have been managed without surgery, with clinical improvement. Spontaneous resolution of the haematomas has been demonstrated by serial computed tomography over periods of six weeks.

12. Extradural anesthesia with lidocaine combined with fentanyl or methadone to ovariohisterectomy in dogs

PURPOSE: To compare the cardiopulmonary effects and the quality of anesthesia of the extradural lidocaine in combination with fentanyl or morphine in bitches undergoing ovariohysterectomy. METHODS: Sixteen female dogs, were sedated with intramuscular acepromazine (0.05mg kg-1), followed by anesthetic induction with intravenous propofol (4mg kg-1), to perform
