it has
"worst headache of my life" vs "berry aneurysm - associated with adult polycystic kidney disease"
is that right at all?
the one right after it has:
"xanthochromia (csf)" vs "subarachnoid hemorrage"
can that be right, too?
are there any more mistakes like this? who has a list? thanks

a rupture of berry aneurysm is the cause of SAH (which is the worst headache of my life), and that is associated with APKD
in SAH u will see xanthochromasia, bc there will be blood in tap

Sounds all correct to me. "Worst headache" is associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage which can be a result of a berry aneurysm. Xanthochromia is seen in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Xanthochromia is blood tinged csf that appears yellow and not clear.

no, xanthochromia means: The occurrence of patches of yellow color in the skin resembling xanthoma but without nodules or plates
oh, but i found this, so you are right
http://neurosurgery.mgh.harvard.edu/Neurovascular...
from what i have read so far, "worst headache" is always associated with subara H.

I think you should re-check your resources. Xanthochromia simply means yellow color. When in reference of CSF it means blood tinged CSF that appears yellow. In reference to skin -then what you've stated is true. To be exact, here's an excerpt from Dorlands Medical Dictionary..."xanthochromia - any yellowish discoloration, as of the skin or of the spinal fluid." Your are right that "worst headache" is associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage, but it also important to understand that the major complication of Berry aneurysm is subarachnoid hemorrhage. Furthermore Berry aneurysm is associated with adult polycystic Kidney disease.

Your link wasn't visible previously. Now is. Great info. It pretty much explains it but doesn't really talk about APKD.

so where is the mistake then? there isn't rite? i mean that's wat we were saying, berry aneurysm rupture leads to a subarachnoid hemmorhage (SAH), which is associatd with APKD, as is mitral valve prolape and hepatic cysts (other things assoc with APKD)... is there still confusion?
i think ur talking about xanthalesma summer, perhaps?? b/c xanthochromasia is yellow in reference to the blood present in csf, if no blood, csf is always clear.

yes, you people are right
according to my stedman's e-dictionary, xanthochromic only refers t skin, i checked the webster online dictionary, it means having a yellowish discoloration

my understanding is that polycystic kidney disease and its association with subarac hemorrage is because of the hypertension element that is often associated with the PCK disease.
