Which is the difference between a hemorrhage of pontine and a hemorrhage of duret?I know that they are the two hemorrhages of intracranial that affect the stem of pons and brain, but the this is the same thing?
Thank a million for any assistance:)
A hemorrhage of pontine can be a primary or secondary hemorrhage.
A primary means of hemorrhage that there is not cause otherwise that the hypertension.
A secondary means of hemorrhage that it arrived in response to the traumatic injury or some other factor that could have caused an accumulation of pressure of intracranial.
A means of hemorrhage of duret that the this is a secondary hemorrhage, but it can arrive elsewhere besides the pons.
In of other terms, a diagnosis of hemorrhage of pontine should incite the patient to ask the cause (the hypertension, or some injury), a diagnosis of hemorrhage of duret should incite the patient to ask where it is localized.
