Intra-arterial (IA) vasodilator therapy is one of the recommended treatments to minimize the impact of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage-induced cerebral vasospasm refractory to standard management. However, its usefulness and efficacy is not well established. We evaluated the effect IA vasodilator therapy on middle cerebral artery blood flow and on discharge outcome. We reviewed records for 1...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Pathological patterns of stroke are different in various races, with the predominant stroke type in the Chinese being intracerebral hemorrhage. A total of 31,078 deaths from cerebral infarction and 77,773 deaths from cerebral hemorrhage in Taiwan were reported for groups of subjects aged 40-79 years during the period 1974-1988 to elucidate their secular trends. METHODS ...

background:  intravenous  recombinant  tissue plasminogen  activator  (rt-pa) is an approved  treatment for acute ischemic stroke within 4.5 h of symptoms onset. decompressive craniectomy (dc) has been  shown  as an effective  therapeutic  modality in malignant  middle cerebral  artery (mca) infarction. as rt-pa could result in hemorrhagic  complication during or after any surgery dc may be ass...

BACKGROUND Distal superior cerebellar artery (SCA) aneurysms are rare and treated using various treatment strategies. Treatment often requires parent occlusion, which raises concerns regarding the potential risk of ischemia in distal territory. OBSERVATIONS An 81-year-old woman presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Diagnostic cerebral angiography revealed two tiny SCA aneurysms. Because signi...

Delayed Cerebral Ischemia (DCI) is a frequent and serious complication after Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH), the leading cause of disability

Six hundred eighty seven cases of cerebrovascular disease, confirmed by C-T scan, were evaluated at Hanyang University Hospital from January 1985, to December 1988, and the following results were obtained. 1) The incidence of cerebral infarction was markedly increased in the last 5 years. 2) Cerebral hemorrhage showed a peak age of incidence in the fifties, cerebral infarction in the sixties. 3...

Abstract Background The novel worldwide coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, first appearing in Wuhan, China, has allured immense global attention. To our comprehension, this research work accommodates the largest isolation hospital-conducted cohort of patients which neuro-radiological complications were retrospectively assessed. present day, full understanding COVID-19 and its spectrum diverse sti...

Cerebral atherosclerosis without luminal narrowing has been found macroscopically and by angiographic examinations in some patients with cerebral hemorrhage. In order to clarify the histology of non-stenotic atherosclerosis of the cerebral vessels, we examined cleared specimens and serial sections of the main trunks of the cerebral arteries. The middle cerebral artery was selected in 20 cases o...

Introduction: The present case study reports an intraparenchymal hemorrhage from a ruptured basilar tip aneurysm without subarachnoid hemorrhage. Case Report: A 57-year-old male presented with intraparenchymal hemorrhage from a ruptured basilar tip aneurysm without subarachnoid hemorrhage. The patient had successful endovascular embolization of his ruptured cerebral aneurysm 9 years previously....
