The syndrome of progressive supranuclear palsy-like syndrome is a rare complication of ascending aortic aneurysm repair. We report two patients with videos and present a table of prior reported cases. To our knowledge there is no previously published video of this syndrome. The suspected mechanism is brainstem injury though neuroimaging is often negative for an associated infarct. We hope our r...

The posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) has a unique anatomical complexity, which is of great clinical importance and involved in many pathologies, such as aneurysm, ischemic stroke, neurovascular compression syndrome (NVCS), arteriovenous malformation (AVM) brain tumour (1).
 PICA sinuous variable trajectory, divided into 5 segments. infarction usually manifests lateral bulbar mor...

OBJECT The authors investigated whether quantified shape or size indices could better discriminate between ruptured and unruptured aneurysms. METHODS Several custom algorithms were created to quantifiy the size and shape indices of intracranial aneurysms by using three-dimensional computerized tomography angiography models of the brain vasculature. Data from 27 patients with ruptured or unrup...

A 38-year-old woman had complex, congenital heart anomalies, including double-outlet right ventricle with mitral atresia, severe left ventricle hypoplasia, atrial septal defect, and severe pulmonary stenosis, for which she had not received appropriate treatment. She presented to our institution with an intense sudden-onset headache that had initiated while sleeping. Brain computed tomography in...

bicuspid aortic valve is traditionally considered an innocuous congenital anomaly. due to a better and widespread availability of non-invasive imaging techniques, it has come to the fore that 30% of these cases develop complications, viz., valve abnormality (aortic regurgitation and stenosis), and aneurysm of aortic root and ascending aorta. sinus of valsalva aneurysm is an uncommon complicatio...

A 40 year old male, a known case of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, was admitted for catheterization. At catheterization and angiography, septum was hypertrophied to about 5cm and diffuse coronary artery aneurysm was revealed. We found no previous report of coronary artery aneurysm in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

The objective of the study is to evaluate if the rupture of an aneurysm located on the middle cerebral artery (MCA) results in disorders of music recognition. To this aim, 20 patients having undergone brain surgery for the clipping of a unilateral left (LBS), right (RBS) or bilateral (BBS) aneurysm(s) of the MCA and 20 neurologically intact control subjects (NC) were evaluated with a series of ...

OBJECTIVE Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a rare complication of unruptured aneurysm clipping surgery. The purpose of this study was to identify the incidence and risk factors of postoperative CSDH after surgical clipping for unruptured anterior circulation aneurysms. METHODS This retrospective study included 518 patients from a single tertiary institute from January 2008 to December 2013...
