  • Focal Neurologic Deficit

    Cerebral edema was thus attributed to osmotic effects related to a high urea gradient between plasma and brain.[3] Diagnosis[edit] Clinical signs of cerebral edema, such as focal neurological deficits, papilledema[4] and decreased level of consciousness [en.wikipedia.org]

  • Decerebrate Posturing

    In the emergency department, the patient was unresponsive, intubated, with decerebrate posturing and intact brainstem reflexes. [neurology.org]

  • Decorticate Posture

    Two hours into her dialysis session the patient became unresponsive, staring straight ahead with decorticate posturing. An emergent head CT scan demonstrated cerebral edema. [shmabstracts.com]

Further workup did not reveal any clear toxic, cerebrovascular or metabolic cause. I’m not sure what role dialysis played in the seizure but we did do our best to try and minimize the risk of DDS. [renalfellow.blogspot.com]

Following septic workup, his antibiotic management was changed to meropenem. [onlinejets.org]

  • Pyuria

    Urine microscopic examination showed pyuria. Hence, patient was treated as severe urosepsis. Unfortunately, he was not responding to aggressive resuscitation. [slideshare.net]

    Urinalysis showed pyuria. Electrocardiogram (ECG) showed normal sinus rhythm. Table 1 Laboratory values at prior to and following initiation of hemodialysis in the intensive care unit. [doi.org]

  • Hypercapnia

    Intracranial hypertension at 12:30 p.m. was due to hypotension after increased neurosedation and at 1:30 p.m. was due to hypercapnia (50 mm Hg) after a change of ventilation mode (from assisted spontaneous breathing to synchronized controlled mechanical [ccforum.biomedcentral.com]

  • White Matter Lesions

    Her transient cerebral white matter lesions were thought to be interstitial edema derived from dialysis disequilibrium syndrome (DDS), which might have been amplified by subclinical brain injury due to past chemotherapy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

MRI of the head has been used in research to better understand DDS.[5] Treatment[edit] Avoidance is the primary treatment. Better alternatives are Nocturnal or Daily Dialysis, which are far more gentle processes for the new dialysis patient. [en.wikipedia.org]

Although it has been reported in patients receiving chronic HD, DDS is more common during or immediately after the first HD treatment. The exact incidence of DDS is unknown. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Qb and treatment time can be increased in a step wise manner over the next 3-4 daily treatments. This is incorrect. Try again. [hemodialysiskinetics.coursepress.yale.edu]

Once established, treatment should be focused on supportive therapy. [unboundmedicine.com]

The prognosis is poor when this manifests with serious neurological manifestations like seizures and obtundation. Evidence in effective management is sparse. [cureus.com]

Prognosis The prognosis varies widely with most of the subjects living into adulthood. The primary cause of death is renal failure and disseminated WT but respiratory and heart failure have also been reported. [orpha.net]

These mutations are usually found in exons 8 or 9, but at least one has been reported in exon 4.[1] Prognosis[edit] A 1994 review of 150 cases reported in the literature found that 38% had died with a mean age of death of 2 years. 32% were still alive [en.wikipedia.org]

Hence, either elevated ICP and/or shock may lead to poor CPP and worsened prognosis. [jmedscindmc.com]

Costen's syndrome has been debated as a single entity standing or falling by the correctness of every one of its symptoms, by the validity of the etiology given by Costen, and by the success of its treatment by "opening the bite." [jamanetwork.com]

In summary, the precise epidemiology and pathophysiology of DDS remain unclear. [doi.org]

In this review, we will examine the pathophysiology of this syndrome and discuss the factors to consider in avoiding its development. [utsouthwestern.influuent.utsystem.edu]

While the focus of this review is the prevention and management of DDS, there will be an emphasis on what is known about the pathophysiology because it strongly impacts the prevention and management strategies. [dovepress.com]
