The incidence of VTE was shown to be higher in hemorrhagic stroke than in ischemic stroke by several studies; however, no strategy for VTE screening and prophylaxis has been established. Lower extremity ultrasonography (US) is the diagnostic method of choice, but routine application for stroke patients is still debated. For prevention, graduated compression stockings (GCS) have little effect on VTE, and thigh-high GCS should be selected. Early use of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) has strong evidence for preventing VTE and is recommended in several clinical guidelines for managing intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Prophylactic heparin products are still debated for preventing VTE despite the risk of rebleeding or hematoma enlargement. To date, administering low-dose, low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) seems the best method to prevent VTE with less risk of hemorrhagic complications. However, the optimal product, dose, and timing are unclear.","PeriodicalId":356321,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neurointensive Care","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121286922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The PRES is characterized by various kinds of neurologic signs and symptoms that include headache, seizure, altered mental status, lethalgy, visual loss and focal neurological disability. A 63-year-old female visited with upper back pain and both leg weakness. She has been receiving chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin for lung cancer with multiple bone metastasis. According to the imaging, we diagnosed the patient as T8 pathologic fracture. Five days after surgical decompression, she suddenly complained of visual loss. Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) of the brain showed bilateral subcortical and cortical edema in the parieto-occipital area. Her MRI finding and symptoms suggested the PRES. Five days after conservative treatment, her visual disturbance was completely recovered. We believe that accurate and early detection of PRES and adequate treatment is very important for the patient having a history of chemotherapy.","PeriodicalId":356321,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neurointensive Care","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121247272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
