BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The prevalence and clinical importance of primarily fragmented thrombi in patients with acute ischemic stroke remains elusive. Whole-brain SWI was used to detect multiple thrombus fragments, and their clinical significance was analyzed. MATERIALS AND METHODS Pretreatment SWI was analyzed for the presence of a single intracranial thrombus or multiple intracranial thrombi...

A 23-year-old female presented with dural sinus thrombosis caused by protein S deficiency. She suffered superior sagittal sinus thrombosis 6 days after delivering her first child. Past history showed deep vein thrombosis at the age of 20. While conservative management was initiated because of the potential risk of increasing intracranial hemorrhage, several hours later she deteriorated rapidly ...

Highlights. The clinical case report describes the important role of MRI in perinatal diagnosis dural sinus thrombosis, timely verification diagnosis, differential with other vascular and tumor formations brain. Abstract. Dural thrombosis (DST) is a rare congenital anomaly. Ultrasound findings usually mimic intracranial tumors. As result, condition often misdiagnosed its frequency general popul...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Rapid and safe recanalization of occluded intracranial arteries in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is challenging. Newly available self-expanding intracranial atherosclerotic stents (SEIS), which can be deployed rapidly and safely, make acute stenting an option for treating AIS. We present the feasibility of this technique. METHODS A retrospective analysis evaluated procedu...

Septoplasty is the most commonly performed operation in otolaryngology. Other than the more common complications such as hemorrhage, septal hematoma and abscess, perforation and postoperative deformities, the surgeon must also be aware of the rare but life-threatening ones such as skull base and intracranial injury, cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea, meningitis, pneumocephalus, subarachnoid hemorr...

Intracranial stenosis due to atherosclerosis is a disease of significant prevalence worldwide and is responsible for a significant economic burden due to stroke-related disability. Known risk factors including age, race, sex, and medical co-morbidities contribute to its incidence. While ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack can develop from myriad mechanisms in patients with intracrania...

The authors present an extremely rare case of a 48-year-old female who developed repeated perianeurysmal edema at 2, 9, and 16 weeks after endovascular coil embolization for the ruptured intracranial aneurysm. Interestingly, the mechanism for this edema could be different at each time point in this case; acute thrombosis formation, chemical inflammation, and aneurysm recanalization. We have to ...

The clinical pathological features of fatal arterial dissection confined to the intracranial vessels are described. Three patients with anterior circulation dissections presented with focal ischaemic neurological deficits and pathological examination of involved vessels revealed a dissection plane between internal elastic lamina and media accompanied by intravascular thrombosis. Three of four p...
