Study Notes
Hydrocephalus and Sudden Death
- A colloid cyst is a tumor associated with hydrocephalus and sudden death
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type 2
- Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type 2 (formerly known as causalgia) is characterized by burning pain, autonomic dysfunction, and trophic changes without obvious nerve damage
Intracranial Hemorrhage (ICH) Score
- The ICH score is calculated using factors such as patient age, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, ICH volume, and the presence of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH)
Mechanical Back Pain and Activity
- Mechanical back pain typically worsens with activity
Transpsoas Approach to the Lumbar Spine
- During a transpsoas approach, the dissection should take place along the lateral aspect of the psoas major to minimize the risk of nerve injury
Episodic Diplopia and Craniopharyngioma
- Episodic diplopia in a patient with a history of craniopharyngioma resection and radiation can be caused by recurrent disease or residual effects from the previous surgery or treatment
