Our results suggest that periprostatic local anesthesia for prostate biopsy does not increase the risk of urethral bleeding. It is associated with a decreased incidence of rectal bleeding, presumably due to decreased patient discomfort. The incidence of bacteriuria was significantly higher in the anesthesia group. High fever and hospitalization due to infectious complications were also more common in the local anesthesia group, although not statistically significant. Prospective randomized trials seem warranted to determine the optimum antibiotic prophylaxis regimen in patients undergoing biopsy with a periprostatic nerve block.
AIM: Intracranial hypotension may have variable clinical presentation. The imaging characteristics of intracranial hypotension are especially well depicted on magnetic resonance imaging studies. Although the clinical and radiological manifestations of spontaneous intracranial hypotension are increasingly recognized in many reports, many other abnormalities in this disorder and complicating cases still exist. MATeRIAL and MeTHodS:A 16-year-old patient suffering from nausea, vomiting and blurred consciousness was admitted to the hospital. MRI showed diffuse pachymeningeal thickening resembling intracranial hypotension and ventricular enlargement like compensated hydrocephalus. The patient was investigated and treated using endoscopic third ventriculostomy. CoNCLUSIoN: The authors presented a case of intracranial hypotension complicated with hydrocephalus. Specific causes for intracranial hypotension as well as additional new treatment options will also be discussed. KeywoRdS: Intracranial hypotension, Triventricular hydrocephalus, Lumbar puncture, Herniation ÖZ AMAç: İntrakranial hipotansiyon farklı klinik bulgular verebilen bir antitedir. MRI bulguları literatürde ayrıntılı olarak tarif edilmekle birlikte, nöroşirürji pratiğinde her zaman akla gelmemektedir. Aynı bulguların farklı sinir sistemi hastalıklarında da görülebilmesi, vakaları komplike hale getirmektedir. yÖNTeM ve GeReç: 16 yaşında bayan hasta bulantı-kusma ve bilinç bulanıklığı nedeniyle hastanemize yatırıldı. MRI intrakranial hipotansiyonla uyumlu difüz pakimeningeal kalınlaşma ve kontrast tutulumu ve eşlik eden triventriküler genişleme gösterdi. Hasta ayrıntılı olarak incelendi ve endoskopik yolla 3. ventrikülostomi yapılarak tedavi edildi. SoNUç: Yazarlar, arrest hidrosefali ile komplike olan bir intrakranial hipotansiyon vakasını sunmuş ve tedavi yöntemi ile birlikte tartışmışlardır. Endoskopik 3. ventrikülostomi, bu vaka için tanı koydurucu ve emniyetli bir seçenek olmuştur.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
