We discuss and illustrate various endovascular treatment options for intracranial aneurysms, to reflect common technique used in endovascular treatment of brain aneurysm. We select five cases of various aneurysm types to show assortments of endovascular treatment (EVT) are performed. Selective catheterization of the intracranial aneurysms and endovascular treatments are technically feasible, of...

CNS infection occurring after therapeutic angiography is rare. We present a case report of a brain abscess complicating endovascular coiling of an intracranial aneurysm. We recommend the use of prophylactic antibiotics, especially when performing therapeutic CNS angiography.

This is a case of idiopathic pulmonary calcification and ossification in a 70 year old with long-standing diabetes and hypertension. Thirteen years prior to her demise, she was first noticed to have multiple calcific deposits in her lungs on a chest X-ray film. She had no risk factors for soft tissue calcification and ossification. Histology of tissue from autopsy showed intraparenchymal pulmon...

Abstract Parent artery occlusion is a definitive treatment method for preventing rebleeding of dissecting aneurysms. We herein report case ruptured distal posterior inferior cerebellar (PICA) aneurysm treated with internal trapping using n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA). A 65-year-old man visited our hospital complaint headache and neck pain that began 1 week before his arrival. He had history sp...

conceptually traumatic brain injury (tbi) can be classified from a mechanistic perspective as: 1) closed, 2) penetrating, 3) blast, and 4) crush injuries. thus, tbi is a heterogeneous disease and each type of brain injury has different characteristic features often necessitating different approaches to management. the first edition of the guidelines for management and prognosis of penetrating b...

Vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation (VGAM) is a rare congenital malformation, accounting for less than 1% of cerebrovascular abnormalities. The majority of reported cases have been associated with congestive heart failure (CHF) in the neonatal period. Herein, we present a case of VGAM, diagnosed at 37 weeks of gestation during the intrauterine life Case report: A full-term female newborn pre...

The rate of incidentally discovered unruptured intracranial aneurysms has increased with the broad availability neuroimaging. determination risk rupture brain is challenging. Several clinical scales for aneurysm prediction have been developed. most common are PHASES, ELAPSS, and UIATS. These not routinely used in practice due to inherent shortcomings. In this review, we analyze factors generati...

It is accepted by many that vasospasm occurring as a result of ruptured intracranial aneurysm may contribute to the death of the patient. In the present case, although widespread spasm in the intracranial circulation was demonstrated, no aneurysm could be found either in life or at necropsy. The cause of the spasm is not known but its effects on the brain were undoubtedly responsible for death....
