Sequelae to pneumoencephalography.

Y S White, D S Bell, R Mellick

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Pneumoencephalography often causes temporary neurological issues, including headaches and altered consciousness, in most patients. These findings suggest a common organic brain syndrome following the procedure.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Pneumoencephalography is an imaging technique.
    • Potential side effects require investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the clinical and neurological sequelae of pneumoencephalography.
    • To evaluate the incidence of adverse effects post-procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical and neurological examinations of 50 patients for 7 days post-pneumoencephalography.
    • Electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring for patients with epilepsy.

    Main Results:

    • High incidence of headache (78%), tachycardia (74%), and pyrexia (38%).
    • Abnormal neurological signs observed in 30% of patients.
    • EEG abnormalities or increased epileptiform activity noted in 74% of cases post-procedure, particularly in epileptic patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Pneumoencephalography frequently leads to transient neurological deficits.
    • Findings suggest an organic brain syndrome is a common outcome.
    • Further research into the mechanism and management of these sequelae is warranted.
