Tortuosity of the cavernous internal carotid artery (cICA) complicates neuro-endovascular access. Improved assessment cICA tortuosity could improve procedural outcomes. This study attempts to refine classification through analysis its effect on mechanical thrombectomy (MT) outcomes and externally validate previously scales. Retrospective single center review 191 patients who underwent transfemoral anterior circulation MT over 5 years. Four parameters were measured. Regression was performed...
BACKGROUND Cerebral arterial vasospasm is a rare complication after supratentorial meningioma resection. The pathophysiology of this condition may be similar to aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, and treatment options similar. OBSERVATIONS authors present two cases cerebral resection perform systematic literature review cases. LESSONS associated with significant morbidity due ischemia if not addressed in timely manner. Treatment paradigms adopted from the management hemorrhage.
Object Bicycle accidents are a very important cause of clinically traumatic brain injury (TBI) in children. One factor that has been shown to mitigate the severity lesions associated with TBI such scenarios is proper use helmet. The object this study was test and evaluate protection afforded by children's bicycle helmet human cadaver skulls child's anthropometry both “impact” “crushing” situations. Methods authors tested without helmets drop tests monorail-guided free-fall impact apparatus...
Object All-terrain vehicle (ATV) usage has grown tremendously over the years, reaching 9.5 million vehicles in use 2007. Accompanying this growth been a concomitant increase rider morbidity (including traumatic brain and spine injuries) death, especially children. The purpose of study was to define measure, through field testing, those physical attributes intrinsic riders, such as height, weight, wingspan, which may have implications for ATV riders' safety. Methods Three tests (J-hook,...
Intracranial arachnoid cysts are a relatively common benign intracranial pathology, accounting for as many 0.75%-1% of nontraumatic CNS lesions. Although it has already been demonstrated that rupture may lead to subdural hematomas/hygromas, no study date investigated extracerebral collection in infancy possible predisposing factor further development cysts.The authors performed retrospective imaging and chart review macrocephalic infants 12 months old or younger who were referred...
Ecchordosis physaliphora (EP) is a rare non-malignant mass that originates from remains of the notochord and typically asymptomatic. A 42-year-old man presented with sudden onset painless horizontal diplopia his neurological exam showed sixth cranial nerve palsy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) identified non-enhanced retroclival increased signal intensity on T2 decreased T1-weighted sequences. He was treated methylprednisolone, completely recovered in four weeks has remained symptom free....
In August of 2005, Hurricane Katrina forever changed the face emergency response and business continuity. Disaster medical assistance teams (DMATs) were deployed to aid victims storm as part National Medical System. The response, which included deployment New Orleans Superdome, Louis Armstrong International Airport West Jefferson Center, provides basis this paper. With an estimated 70,000 100,000 people seeking refuge in DMATs set up a triage/treatment area basketball/ice arena for 3,500...
Conservative management of patients with Ecchordosis physaliphora should be attempted before pursuing surgery.
Objective: To educate neurologists about a highly efficacious, minimally-invasive treatment for chronic subdural hematoma. Background: Chronic hematoma (cSDH) arises from injury to dural border cells. This initiates self-perpetuating inflammatory response complicated by the formation of vascularized neo-membranes that are fed middle meningeal artery (MMA). Blood and fluid extravasation through fragile arterial vessels fill new membrane-bound space. cSDH presents clinically in myriad forms...
