Background: Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) is a devastating traumatic neurologic injury with variable prognosis. Although outcomes such as mortality have been described, the time course of neurologic progression is poorly understood. We investigated the association between DAI neuroanatomic injury pattern and neurologic recovery timing.

- Large acute traumatic subdural hematomas (aSDHs) are serious conditions, especially in elderly patients, but some may be treated conservatively if they show minimal symptoms.
- A study analyzed 45 adult patients with large aSDHs and matched them with those having small aSDHs, finding no significant differences in hospital outcomes like mortality and length of stay between the two groups.
- Key factors predicting inpatient mortality included the severity of injury and specific brain scan results, but larger aSDHs did not worsen hospital outcomes under conservative management.
Unlabelled: Blister aneurysms at non-branching sites of the dorsal internal carotid artery (dICA) are fragile, rare, and often difficult to treat. The purpose of this study is to address the demographics, treatment modalities, and long-term outcome of patients treated for dICA blister aneurysms. A retrospective review of medical records identified all consecutive patients who presented with a blister aneurysm from 2002 to 2011 at our institution.
