We experienced a patient with a ruptured dissecting aneurysm of the vertebral artery who was treated by trapping of the lesion using Guglielmi detachable coils (GDCs) with micro-tornado® coils (MTCs). An 80-year-old male was transferred with a ruptured left vertebral artery dissecting aneurysm (VADA). The dissected portion of the vertebral artery was effectively trapped using GDCs and MTCs. The...

Silicone models of cerebral aneurysm and stroke pathology were produced by copying the images of clinical cases to evaluate the simulation of endovascular procedures. Conventional silicone models, silicone suture models made from separate aneurysm sac and parent artery sutured together, and animal vascular models made from vessels obtained from pigs were made. The models were incorporated in th...

BACKGROUND Patients with acute stroke are often transferred to tertiary care centers for advanced interventional services. We hypothesized that the presence of a proximal cerebral artery occlusion on CT angiography (CTA) is an independent predictor of the use of these services. METHODS We performed a historical cohort study of consecutive ischemic stroke patients presenting within 24 h of sym...

Abstract This is the second part of two-part paper on history development neuroradiology at Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute Medical Sciences and Technology, Thiruvananthapuram. In this part, authors describe evolution interventional procedures their institute from initial techniques free-flow embolization as a palliative procedure for large arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) to more refined selec...

Tubercular infections of central nervous system commonly present with hydrocephalus, basal exudates, infarcts, tuberculomas, etc. However, rarely there are atypical lesions which can pose greater difficulty in differentiating from other lesions like tumors. This case series describes the spectrum of such lesions, with review few individual reports found in literature. Clinical presentations wer...
