BACKGROUND Neonatal presentation of vein of Galen aneurysmal malformations (VGAMs) with intractable cardiac failure is considered a poor prognostic sign. Interventional neuroradiology with embolisation has been shown to control cardiac failure, but there is a perception that neurological outcome in survivors is poor. OBJECTIVE To determine if aggressive intensive care and anaesthetic manageme...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this retrospective study was twofold: (1) to show the role of multi-detector computed tomography angiography (MDCTA) in the evaluation of intracranial arterial anatomic variations; (2) to highlight their clinical importance with illustrated example cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS One thousand seven hundred thirty-nine patients who underwent carotid and/or cerebral CTA using...

Noninvasive brain stimulation provides a potential tool for affecting brain functions in the typical and atypical brain and offers in several cases an alternative to pharmaceutical intervention. Some studies have suggested that transcranial electrical stimulation (TES), a form of noninvasive brain stimulation, can also be used to enhance cognitive performance. Critically, research so far has pr...

Background In cases of failed recanalization despite modern mechanical thrombectomy (MT) techniques, intracranial rescue stenting (RS) may be beneficial. However, outcomes and complications RS relative to the natural history ongoing emergent large vessel occlusion are unknown. To evaluate whether for after MT achieves superior persistent occlusion. Methods Patients from Stroke Thrombectomy Aneu...

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) modulates cortical neural activity and hemodynamics. Electrophysiological methods (electroencephalography-EEG) measure neural activity while optical methods (near-infrared spectroscopy-NIRS) measure hemodynamics coupled through neurovascular coupling (NVC). Assessment of NVC requires development of NIRS-EEG joint-imaging sensor montages that are se...
