✓ The incidence and natural history of the cavernous angioma have remained unclear in part because difficulty diagnosing following this lesion prior to surgical excision. introduction magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has improved sensitivity specificity vascular malformation. Seventy-six lesions with an MR appearance typical a presumed were discovered 66 patients among 14,035 consecutive images performed at Cleveland Clinic between 1984 1989. Follow-up studies 86% cases over mean period 26...

Patchy subcortical foci of increased signal intensity are frequently identified on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the elderly. The incidence and clinical correlates these lesions remain unknown. In this report, 240 consecutive MRI scans performed over a 6-month period were reviewed (excluding patients with recent brain trauma or known demyelinating disease). Subcortical incidental (ILs) identified, which could not be accounted for by patient's current diagnosis, neurological status, CT...

The pathological correlates of subcortical lesions noted on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the elderly are not known. Postmortem vitro proton MRI was performed brains seven consecutive patients dying nonneurologic causes. Scans were done fresh and fixed states with specimen immersed saline formaldehyde respectively. A 1.5 Tesla superconductive system used a multiple spin-echo protocol generating T2 weighted images. Subcortical localized three dimensions identified at brain cutting. In...

Delayed neurologic deterioration from vasospasm remains the greatest cause of morbidity and mortality following subarachnoid hemorrhage. The authors assess incidence clinical course symptomatic hemorrhage using a uniform management protocol over 24-month period. One hundred eighteen consecutive patients were admitted to neurovascular surgery service within 2 weeks not attributed trauma, tumor, or vascular malformation (113 had aneurysms). Early was performed whenever possible, hypertensive...

Background and Purpose— Perihematomal edema (PHE) can worsen outcomes after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Reports suggest that blood degradation products lead to PHE. We hypothesized hematoma evacuation will reduce PHE volume treatment with recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) not exacerbate it. Methods— Minimally invasive surgery rt-PA in ICH (MISTIE) phase II tested safety efficacy of ICH. conducted a semiautomated, computerized volumetric analysis on computed tomography...

Endothelial cell–cell junctions regulate vascular permeability, vasculogenesis, and angiogenesis. Familial cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) in humans result from mutations of CCM2 (malcavernin, OSM, MGC4607), PDCD10 (CCM3), or KRIT1 (CCM1), a Rap1 effector which stabilizes endothelial junctions. Homozygous loss produces lethal phenotypes mice zebrafish. We report that the physical interaction proteins is required for junctional localization, lack either protein destabilizes barrier...

Cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) is a Mendelian model of stroke, characterized by focal abnormalities in small intracranial blood vessels leading to hemorrhage and consequent strokes and/or seizures. A significant fraction cases inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with incomplete penetrance. Among Hispanic Americans, virtually all CCM attributable founder mutation localized 7q (CCM1). Recent analysis non-Hispanic Caucasian kindreds, however, has excluded linkage some, indicating at...

THE CLINICAL RELEVANCE of any scheme for classification vascular malformations the brain remains controversial. Widely accepted pathologic classifications include discrete venous, arteriovenous, capillary, and cavernous malformations. Of 280 cases possible evaluated by a single cerebrovascular service during 5-year period, 14 were instances mixed including definite features more than one pathologically type malformation within same lesion. There six venous in lesion; all instances, accounted...
