Abstract:

Post–dural puncture headache (PDPH) is a benign but debilitating condition that may occur as a consequence of any dural puncture, whether intentional (as with spinal anesthesia or lumbar puncture) or inadvertent (as with epidural anesthesia). The headache is characteristically unique, as it is postural in nature—worsened when sitting or standing, and markedly improved in the recumbent position. After the puncture, passage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) across the dura mater from a pressurized environment (subarachnoid space) to the epidural space, is the initial culprit behind the headache. Noninvasive conservative measures including hydration, analgesics, and caffeine intake are typically offered as initial treatments, but if those measures fail, the “gold standard” epidural blood patch is commonly offered. This procedure entails injection of autologous blood into the epidural space to both halt continued CSF “loss,” and to increase CSF pressure, both of which aid in headache resolution.

Abstract:

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage typically causes sudden severe headache. Diagnosis is made by CT scan in most cases, but lumbar puncture may be needed if CT findings are normal and suspicion is high. Rapid evaluation and treatment are important because of the high morbidity and mortality associated with rebleeding and vasospasm.

Abstract:

Post-dural-puncture headache (PDPH) is a consequence of neuraxial anesthesia, diagnostic lumbar puncture, intrathecal drug delivery systems, or any other technique involving dural trespass. The spinal headache results from a dural puncture that leads to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage from the subarachnoid space to the epidural space, culminating in intracranial hypotension and development of a low-pressure headache. A key element of PDPH is an increase in pain severity upon a change in position from supine to upright, which corresponds to a gravity-induced influence on CSF pressure dynamics. Age, sex, and design of the needle used correlate with the risk of headache. Sometimes, the headache resolves spontaneously. At other times, conservative treatment or aggressive measures are required to terminate the pain. An autologous epidural blood patch is an established way preventing or treating PDPH. A careful history must be obtained to identify other causes of headache before the blood patch is attempted.

Abstract:

In most cases, women with headache disorders have normal pregnancy and delivery outcomes and should not be discouraged from becoming pregnant. Pre-pregnancy planning includes weaning of contraindicated medications. Most women with migraine without aura improve during pregnancy. Although there are limitations, various acute and preventive treatments may be employed, including non-pharmacologic options. Anti-epileptic medications should be avoided. For pseudotumor cerebri, the mainstay of treatment includes diuretics and therapeutic lumbar punctures, avoiding topiramate. Surgical treatment may be necessary if vision is threatened. Close monitoring and collaboration between an ophthalmologist, neurologist and obstetrician are critical. New-onset pseudotumor cerebri requires an investigation for secondary causes such as cerebral venous thrombosis. In the absence of a pre-existing primary headache disorder, new headaches in the postnatal period warrant evaluation for secondary headache disorders, including post-dural puncture headache, stroke, cerebral venous thrombosis, pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS), and pituitary apoplexy.

Abstract:

The case illustrates the classic clinical features of a low-pressure headache. The pathophysiology results from the loss of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This causes sagging of the brain, stretching of the bridging veins, and venodilatation. The clinical history is of a headache that is worse in the upright position and remits when the patient is supine. Due to the connection of the perilymphatic fluid and CSF, postural tinnitus is a frequent symptom. Risk factors for low-pressure headache include those that are patient-specific: female sex, low body mass index, prior history of a low-pressure headache, and an underlying headache disorder. Operator-specific factors that decrease the risk of a postdural puncture headache (PDPH) include greater operator experience and the use of a smaller-gauge, non-cutting lumbar puncture needle. The best treatment for low-pressure headache is a blood patch with resolution in over 90% of low-pressure headaches.

Abstract:

Guillain-Barré syndrome may present in several ways, although predominant proximal weakness is a common feature of the disease to recognize. The differential diagnosis may be extensive and can include infection, vasculitis, toxin exposure, and malignancy. A lumbar puncture must be done with minimal delay to evaluate for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) albuminocytological dissociation, however results may be normal early in the course of the disease. EMG/NCS are helpful to support the diagnosis, and early treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is essential. This chapter discusses the clinical features and diagnostic considerations of this important condition.

Abstract:

Bacterial meningitis is a bacterial infection causing inflammation of the meninges, the lining around the brain and spinal cord. It is important for emergency physicians to recognize potential bacterial meningitis early. They are usually the providers that the patient will present to first. If the patient is critically ill and suspicion for meningitis is high, immediately give steroids followed by antibiotics and then pursue diagnostic workup. Lumbar puncture will aid in definitive diagnosis. If this procedure will be delayed and suspicion for bacterial meningitis is high, give dexamethasone followed by antibiotics, even in a currently stable patient. Meningitis is a treatable condition, and early intervention will have a great impact on reducing morbidity and mortality.

Abstract:

This book is written for clinicians who are new to ultrasound and those who want to progress further from the basics to more advanced-level scanning. Consequently, it covers a broad range of subjects, and its text is divided into five sections. Section 1 is imaging-based. Chapters in Section 1, such as physics, machine setting, and sonoanatomy, provide the foundation that underpins the rest of the book. Section 2 is structure-based. Chapters in Section 2 cover cardiac, lung, abdominal, and vascular anatomy and enable the reader to start scanning in these areas. Section 3 is problem-based. Chapters in Section 3 cover the major differential diagnoses and algorithmic approaches to ultrasound assessment of the most common clinical presentations, including shock, dyspnoea, trauma, cardiac arrest, sepsis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and many more. Section 4 is procedure-based. Chapters in Section 4, such as thoracocentesis, lumbar puncture, and percutaneous tracheostomy, cover the technical and non-technical aspects of invasive procedures performed in critically ill patients. Section 5 is governance-based and covers how to deliver a safe and effective service.

Abstract:

Neuropsychiatry has generally been concerned with the diagnosis and management of syndromes with productive symptoms (positive symptoms) such as hallucinations, mood changes, and delusions. This chapter focuses on the brain-based forensic issues before the law concerning the neuropsychiatry of the older patient. These include the forensic infinitives of legal cognitive capacity to be competent to be tried, enter a plea, be a witness, consent generally, enter a contract, make a will, resist undue influence, refuse treatment, give informed consent, have general competence, have specific competence, be fit for duty, be criminally responsible, be civilly committable, and resist elder abuse. Fundamentally, the forensic neuropsychiatric question is: does a brain disorder remove the individual capacity to understand, decide or act in a specific circumstance before the law? Thus, a well-planned forensic assessment of a geriatric person usually requires a neuromedical psychiatric examination model. This may include examinations, laboratory testing, structural neuroimaging, cognitive screening, and neuropsychological testing. It also may involve lumbar puncture functional neuroimaging and other neurodiagnostic testing.

Abstract:

In previously conscious patients seizures are usually easily detected. Critically-ill patients are frequently sedated and a proportion are paralysed with neuromuscular blocking agents, in such patients it may be hard or impossible to detect seizures clinically. An urgent electroencephalogram (EEG) should be obtained whenever seizures are witness or suspected, especially if the patient does not rapidly return to baseline, when non-convulsive status epilepticus must be excluded. Unless the cause of the seizure activity is already known, an urgent CT, or MRI is indicated. If central nervous system infection is suspected a lumbar puncture may be needed. Status epilepticus is diagnosed when there is recurrent or continued seizure activity without intervening recovery. Most seizures are self-limiting and stop after 1–2 minutes, seizures that continue for more than 5 minutes should be treated. Treatment priorities for any seizure are to stop the patient hurting either themselves or anyone else. General supportive measures include attention to the airway, breathing, circulation, exclusion of hypoglycaemia and an EEG to exclude non-convulsive status epilepticus. A variety of drugs can be used to terminate seizures; parenteral benzodiazepines are the most commonly used agents although propofol and barbiturates are alternatives. Emergent endotracheal intubation may well be necessary, hypotension can be expected and may need treatment with intravenous fluids and vasopressors.

Abstract:

The pediatric oncology population presents challenges to the anesthesiologist. Many of these patients undergo multiple lumbar punctures and bone marrow aspirations as part of their treatment protocol. Radiation therapy is another treatment modality that requires the assistance of an anesthesiologist to be successful for younger children. While seemingly minor procedures, they are a source of anxiety for patients and parents. Furthermore, patients can present with a number of physiological derangements such as anemia, coagulopathies, and toxicities from chemotherapeutic agents. Further, these patients are often infants and toddlers who require attention to their developmental level during anesthetic planning.

Abstract:

This case illustrates a typical presentation of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) during pregnancy. The diagnostic criteria, complications, and treatment of the condition during pregnancy are explored. The major complication of IIH is visual loss. The International Headache Society 2013 criteria for idiopathic intracranial hypertension are: that the headache should remit after the CSF pressure is in the normal range, CSF pressure is greater than 250 mm, and the majority of patients have papilledema and other symptoms, which may include visual obscurations, pulsatile tinnitus, double vision, and neck or back pain. IIH treatment includes weight control, high-volume lumbar punctures, and medications.
