Papers cover pathophysiology, natural history, methods of evaluation, new drugs and therapeutic strategies, clinical issues, and emerging topics such as the role of coagulation disturbances, portopulmonary hypertension and the hepatopulmonary syndrome, hepato-renal syndrome, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, and non-cirrhotic portal hypertension.
After the diagnosis was achieved, the second issue raised by our patients was the need to rapidly treat their coagulation disturbance as they both required emergent surgical intervention for surgical decompression of the hematoma and removal of a bone flap for the treatment of increased ICP in our first patient and for ventriculostomy placement to treat obstructive hydrocephalus in the second case.
