BACKGROUND The role of the extracranial venous system in the pathology of central nervous system (CNS) disorders and aging is largely unknown. It is acknowledged that the development of the venous system is subject to many variations and that these variations do not necessarily represent pathological findings. The idea has been changing with regards to the extracranial venous system. DISCUSSI...

Behcet disease is a rare multi-system immune related vasculitis which may involve the central nervous system, usually during the course of the illness. Magnetic resonance imaging is currently the modality of choice for the detection of the parenchymal lesions in their different phases, as well as the dural sinus venous thrombosis.

IFs related to blood vessels (including findings suggestive of infarct) • asymmetric prominence of artery or vein (Gur et al., 2013) • developmental venous anomaly (Gur et al., 2013) • venous angioma (Kim et al., 2002) • tortuous artery (Gur et al., 2013) • possible infarct (Gur et al., 2013) • possible aneurysm (Gur et al., 2013) • encephalomalacia from remote ischemic event (Rachmiel et al., ...

One of the most important problems in neuroscience researches is the understanding what is the communication between the immune system and central nervous system. Proinflammatory factors play an important role in this communication. The dysregulation of proinflammatory factors such as cytokines and chemokines is a central feature in the development of neuroinflammation.one of the important&nbsp...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Central nervous system vascular malformations (VMs) result from abnormal vasculo- and/or angiogenesis. Cavernomas and arteriovenous malformations are also sites of active inflammation. The aim of this study was to determine whether MRI detection of VMs can be improved by administration of ferumoxytol iron oxide nanoparticle, which acts as a blood pool agent at early time ...

A 62-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with aphasia and a right hemiplegia. Two weeks earlier she had been discharged after undergoing triple coronary artery bypass surgery . Her admission CT revealed an area of old ischemic infarction in the left basal ganglionic region, including portions of the caudate, lentiform nucleus, and the intemal capsule. An enhancing high-density lesion wa...

Poor penetration of vancomycin into Central Nervous System (CNS) can lead to treatmentfailure. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare CSF concentration and serumpharmacokinetics of high dose vancomycin by continuous infusion vs. intermittent infusion inpost neurosurgical meningitis patients. Twenty patients were divided into two groups. Patientsin intermittent infusion group received...
