Study Notes
### Hydrocephalus and sudden death
- Colloid cyst is associated with hydrocephalus and sudden death.
### Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type 2 (Causalgia)
- Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type 2 (Causalgia) is characterized by burning pain, autonomic dysfunction, and trophic changes that occur without obvious nerve damage.
### Intracranial Hemorrhage (ICH) Score
- Factors that contribute to the ICH score include:
- Patient age
- Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score
- Acuity of ICH
- ICH volume
### Mechanical Back Pain
- Mechanical back pain worsens with activity.
### Transpsoas Approach to the Lumbar Spine
- To minimize the risk of nerve injury during a transpsoas approach to the lumbar spine, the dissection should take place along the lateral aspect of the psoas major.
Episodic Diplopia
- Episodic diplopia in a patient with a history of transsphenoidal resection of a craniopharyngioma can be a sign of recurrent disease.
- Carbamazepine can improve symptoms of episodic diplopia.
