OBJECTIVES Many that survive an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage experience lasting physical disability, which might be improved by medications with effects on the dopaminergic, serotonergic, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor neurotransmitter systems. But it is not clear which patients are most likely to benefit from these therapies. The purpose of this pilot study was to explore the rela...

Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome is a well-recognized and potentially fatal complication of carotid revascularization. However, the occurrence of non-aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage as a manifestation of cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome post-carotid endarterectomy is uncommon. We report a case of a patient who presented with headache following carotid endarterectomy for a critically occluded...

background and aim: traumatic subdural hygroma is the accumulation of csf (cerebrospinal fluid) in subdural space following head trauma. the mass effect of hygroma on brain can impinge on consciousness. there are still many ambiguities on indications of hygroma surgery. this is an 11-year follow-up study which involves the patients suffering traumatic subdural hygroma who underwent surgery. met...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We report the first case of traumatic aneurysm of the supraclinoid internal carotid artery (ICA), which we speculate may have developed or grown after traumatic occlusion of the ipsilateral cervical ICA. CASE DESCRIPTION A 26-year-old man presented with severe traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and occlusion of the right cervical ICA after a motor vehicle accident....

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Serial changes of anti-platelet-aggregating activity in the endothelial cells after experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage were studied in 30 feline two-hemorrhage models. METHODS One hour or 2, 4, 7, or 14 days after mimic subarachnoid hemorrhage, ADP (40 mg/kg) was infused into the basilar artery via the right vertebral artery to activate circulating platelets. Immediat...

#### Notable in Neurology This Week This issue features an article that investigates the association between early neurologic recovery, practice pattern variation, and endotracheal intubation during status epilepticus; another describes development of a new quality life measure for boys men with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. A featured Contemporary Issues discusses ethics searching covert consc...

conclusions bscta is easily accessible, less time consuming, and most importantly, a non-invasive technique for detecting intracranial aneurysms. it is also suitable for patients who have been referred to emergency services. therefore, it can be used in emergency conditions and as a first-line diagnostic method in patients with non-traumatic sah. patients and methods sixty consecutive patients ...

We report preliminary results applying fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery (FLAIR) sequences to three patients with acute subarachnoid hemorrhage. Acute subarachnoid hemorrhage could be clearly demonstrated as areas of high signal intensity on FLAIR sequences in all patients. These preliminary results suggest that with FLAIR sequences one could reliably diagnose acute subarachnoid hemorrhage.

AIM To report our experience with a relatively large series of patients with non-traumatic non-aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (NNSAH) to identify the prognosis associated with different bleeding patterns as well as a further diagnostic work-up to determine the underlying cause. MATERIAL AND METHODS Between January 2004 and December 2014, 81 patients with angiography-negative non-traumatic...
