Delayed symptomatic cerebral vasospasm following vestibular schwannoma resection: illustrative case.
J Neurosurg Case Lessons
February 2024
Background: Symptomatic cerebral vasospasm following posterior fossa extraaxial tumor resection is a rare phenomenon, with only 13 cases previously reported in the literature. The condition appears similar to vasospasm following supratentorial tumor resection, intraaxial posterior fossa tumor resection, and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). The majority of patients were not evaluated for vasospasm prior to symptom onset, leading to a delay in diagnosis.

Bilateral blindness following flow diverter placement in a giant thrombosed cavernous carotid aneurysm: illustrative case.
J Neurosurg Case Lessons
December 2022
Background: The best treatment option for giant intracranial aneurysms (GIAs) is still debated. The authors report a case of a giant thrombosed cavernous carotid artery (CCA) aneurysm for which two sessions of flow diverter (FD) placement failed, leading to bilateral blindness.
Observations: A 66-year-old man presented to an outside center with a history of rapid-onset right-sided retro-orbital pain, visual deterioration, and restricted eye movements associated with headache, vomiting, and diminished sensations on the right side of the face.
