Abstract Introduction : The goal of this survey is to investigate the indications for preoperative digital subtraction angiography (DSA) before clipping ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms in an international panel neurovascular specialists. Methods An anonymous 23 multiple-choice questions relating DSA aneurysm was distributed attendees European-Japanese Cerebrovascular Congress (EJ...

A 35-year-old man suffered secondary generalized tonic-clonic convulsions due to a large brain abscess. Neuroimaging incidentally revealed another tumor-like lesion. Cerebral angiography confirmed that the lesion was an unusual giant venous varix associated with a high-flow pial arteriovenous fistula (AVF) and showed one more small arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Pulmonary AVF, which can caus...

A 39-year-old man with a history of rupture of a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm experienced an ischemic stroke. Although the patient presented left-sided hemiparesis for a week, no abnormal signals were indicated on diffusion-weighted imaging with repeated magnetic resonance scans. Carotid ultrasound and cerebral angiography were conducted, and they revealed hypoplasty of the left internal carotid ...

We report a 10-year-old Saudi girl who has Fanconi anemia (FA) and was admitted due to acute hemiplegia, of the right side. She had a previous attack of left side hemiplegia that resolved spontaneously. The brain magnetic resonance angiography showed a cerebrovascular pattern of moyamoya disease. She underwent partially matched related donor stem cell transplantation (SCT), but unfortunately di...

In recent years, the incidence of cardiovascular disease is increasing year by year in China, and ischemic cerebrovascular disease caused by atherosclerosis has become a key cause to disability and death. In this paper, a carotid atherosclerosis evaluation scheme based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was proposed. First, blood vessel wall MRI and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) were s...

Clinical reports of cerebrovascular system involvement in sarcoidosis are extremely rare though pathological studies frequently describe granulomatous cerebral arterial and venous lesions. We report the case of a 47-year-old man with a history of pulmonary sarcoidosis at age 32 and abducens palsy at age 40, who presented cerebral pseudotumoral histologically proven sarcoidosis. He was admitted ...

Method In this single-centre prospective randomized study, 200 consecutive patients undergoing elective CABG were randomly assigned to two groups: 97 patients received aspirin 300 mg (A) and 103 patients received aspirin 100 mg plus clopidogrel 75 mg (AC). Antiplatelet protocol was initiated immediately after surgery and continued daily for one year. Graft patency was evaluated by multislice co...

We report a 50-year-old woman diagnosed with Sneddon's syndrome and examined by CBF scintigraphy several times for follow-up of the disease. There were no significant changes in her CBF scintigraphic findings or neurological status during the 6-year follow-up period. Sneddon's syndrome is a slowly progressive disorder in which livedo reticularis precedes cerebrovascular accidents. Because small...

Moyamoya disease is a unique cerebrovascular disorder characterized by idiopathic progressive stenosis at the terminal portion of the internal carotid artery (ICA) and fine vascular network. The aim of this review is to present the clinical application of quantitative digital subtraction angiography (QDSA) in pediatric moyamoya disease. Using conventional angiographic data and postprocessing so...
