We report the case of a large dissecting aneurysm of the anterior cerebral artery revealed by cerebral infarction in 38-year-old man. The volume and aspect of the aneurysm initially led us to the diagnosis of saccular aneurysm. Given the complete thrombosis, the risk of bleeding was low and antithrombotic therapy was started. Surgery could be discussed later. However radiological monitoring by ...

INTRODUCTION This study investigated the curcumin effect on the cerebral aneurysm. Apoptosis is known to play a fundamental role in the pathogenesis of a cerebral aneurysm. Therefore, we investigated the effect of curcumin on apoptosis of smooth muscle cells of a cerebral aneurysm-induced male albino rats. METHODS In this study, the cerebral aneurysm has been induced in the male albino rats b...

MRA (magnetic resonance angiography) is a commonly used method for diagnosing unruptured cerebral aneurysms. In this paper, we introduce a novel computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for the cerebral aneurysm using MRA images. The proposed CAD system automatically finds candidates of the cerebral aneurysm, and then evaluates a fuzzy degree belonging to aneurysm whose size is more than a user-sp...

Delayed rupture of a previously unruptured cerebral aneurysm after uneventful saccular coil packing is rare, particularly when the quality of aneurysm occlusion is appropriate (neck remnant or total occlusion). The present report describes the case of a 70-year-old woman with an incidentally detected, asymptomatic, small basilar tip non-thrombosed aneurysm who experienced rupture of the aneurys...

Giant saccular middle cerebral artery aneurysm is rare vascular lesion and few cases have been reported in the literature. Microsurgical clipping applied to treat a giant .A 26 year-male presented with complain severe headache, multiple episodes of vomiting one episode sudden loss conscious since hours prior admission at emergency department. Cerebral Angiography showed (MCA) aneurysm. A standa...

Awake craniotomy is a neurosurgical technique performed either as an asleep-awake-asleep or monitored anesthesia care technique, in combination with scalp block. The surgery indication has been well documented for brain tumor excision at the eloquent cortex, epilepsy and deep stimulation surgery. However, this technique’s use during unruptured cerebral aneurysm clipping only recently reported. ...

Variations of the anterior cerebral artery-anterior communicating artery complex are commonly identified in aneurysm surgery. An infraoptic course of the anterior cerebral artery is exceedingly rare. Robison first described this anomaly from an anatomic dissection in 1959. A unilateral anomalous infraoptic anterior cerebral artery is more common than anomalies of bilateral infraoptic anterior c...

PURPOSE Approximately 5% of the adult population has one or more cerebral aneurysm. Aneurysms are one of the most dangerous cerebral vascular pathologies. Aneurysm rupture leads to a subarachnoid hemorrhage with a very high mortality rate of 45-50%. Despite the high importance of this disease there are no criteria for assessing the probability of aneurysm rupture. Moreover, mechanisms of aneury...

A 75-year-old man with no history of head trauma presented with a 10-day episode of left forehead heaviness followed by sudden headache and vomiting. Neurologic examinations were unremarkable. Neuroimaging showed left frontal extra-axial lesion suggestive of acute and subacute subdural hematoma (figure 1, A–D). CSF analysis revealed normal cytology and the absence of xanthochromia. An angiogram...

Mycotic cerebral aneurysm is a relatively rare but very serious complication of infective endocarditis. Infective endocarditis is a rare but a potentially fatal complication of pregnancy. We report here two very rare cases of infective endocarditis associated with mycotic cerebral aneurysm in peripartum women. In one case, cardiac surgery was performed prior to cerebral surgery and after delive...
