Computerized tomography in the management of intracranial bleeding in hemophilia.

Computerized tomography was used to evaluate the severity of six episodes of suspected intracranial bleeding in four patients with hemophilia. In all instances the CT scan rapidly provided information on the extent and location of the intracranial hemorrhage. Results of the initial scan provided a rational basis for therapy, and subsequent scans were a noninvasive means of evaluating the effects of treatment. If available, computerized tomography is a valuable aid in the management of the hemophiliac patient with intracranial bleeding.

Headache in cerebral embolic disease.

A patient is presented who had severe headache and then developed a stuttering course of clinical neurological deficits. Arteriography demonstrated an ipsilateral proximal middle cerebral embolus. With recurrence of symptoms, repeat arteriography showed another, more proximal embolus with areas of distal occlusion. The headache probably occurred when the embolus became lodged in a pain sensitive cerebral vessel at the base of the brain. The subsequent stuttering neurological deficits were due to fragmentation of the embolus as well as recurrence.
