BACKGROUND Ocular trauma is a major cause of vision loss, especially in the young patients, and is the leading cause of unilateral blind in China. OBJECTIVE The aims of this report are to analyze ciliary and choroidal lesion characteristics and outcomes of a group of patients with ruptured globe injuries and discuss finding a more effective treatment protocol. Here we report our experience tr...

Objective Aneurysm clipping and simultaneous hematoma evacuation through open craniotomy is traditionally recommended for ruptured cerebral aneurysms accompanied by intracerebral or intrasylvian hemorrhages. We report our experience of adapting a less invasive treatment strategy in poor-grade patients with intracerebral or intrasylvian hemorrhages associated with ruptured cerebral aneurysms, wh...

OBJECTIVE This study examined the efficacy of computed tomographic angiography (CTA) for detection of ruptured and unruptured aneurysms after adjustment for their size distributions under various conditions of aneurysm prevalence. METHODS A systematic review was used to estimate 1) the aneurysm size-specific sensitivity and specificity of CTA, and 2) the size distributions of ruptured and unr...

SUMMARY Superior cerebellar artery (SCA) aneurysms sometimes involve the origin of the SCA making treatment difficult. We focused on the morphological characteristics of SCA aneurysms and adjacent vascular structures to apply clinical decision-making for the treatment strategy. Sixty-nine SCA aneurysms, including 34 ruptured and 35 unruptured ones, had been treated for over 12 years. Multiple a...

OBJECTIVES To determine the frequency and severity of neuropsychological impairments associated with aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage, and associated with repair of intracerebral aneurysms. METHODS Two groups of patients who underwent repair of intracerebral aneurysms were studied: patients with unruptured aneurysms (n=20) and patients with ruptured aneurysms (n=27). All patients were admi...
