Intracerebral hemorrhage Intracerebral hemorrhage. (Redirected from Intraparenchymal hematoma) Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), also known as cerebral bleed, is a type of intracranial bleed that occurs within the brain tissue or ventricles. Symptoms can include headache, one-sided weakness, vomiting, seizures, decreased level of consciousness, and neck stiffness. Often symptoms get worse over time. Fever is also common.

Brain abscess The symptoms of brain abscess are caused by a combination of increased intracranial pressure due to a space-occupying lesion (headache, vomiting, confusion, coma), infection (fever, fatigue etc.) and focal neurologic brain tissue damage (hemiparesis, aphasia etc.).he infection may also be introduced through a skull fracture following a head trauma or surgical procedures. Brain abscess is usually associated with congenital heart disease in young children.

Peritonsillar Abscess: Diagnosis and Treatment Peritonsillar abscess, the most common deep infection of the head and neck that occurs in adults, is typically formed by a combination of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. The presenting symptoms include fever, throat pain, and trismus. Ultrasonography and computed tomographic scanning are useful in confirming a diagnosis. Needle aspiration remains the gold standard for diagnosis and treatment of peritonsillar abscess.

Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leak A CSF leak is most often characterized by orthostatic headaches — headaches that worsen in a vertical position and improve when lying down. Other symptoms can include neck pain or stiffness, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, fatigue, and a metallic taste in the mouth (indicative of a cranial leak). A CT scan can identify the site of a cerebrospinal fluid leakage.

Cerebral Intraventricular Neoplasms: Radiologic-Pathologic Correlation1 As with other intraventricular masses, clinical signs and symptoms are largely secondary to the effects of increased intracranial pressure and hydrocephalus (1). Because the fourth ventricle is a predominant site for these tumors, some patients may present with cerebellar ataxia and paresis (1,5).
