Article Synopsis
- Intracranial vessel wall imaging is increasingly important for diagnosing vascular diseases in the brain, requiring awareness from radiologists and neurologists about imaging parameters that influence image quality and interpretation.
- Advances in MRI technology allow for direct evaluation of the arterial vessel wall, providing more accurate information compared to traditional methods that assess blood flow indirectly.
- The authors recommend a comprehensive approach to intracranial vessel wall imaging, emphasizing appropriate clinical settings to enhance its effectiveness in diagnoses.
Phakomatoses, also known as neurocutaneous disorders, comprise a vast number of entities that predominantly affect structures originated from the ectoderm such as the central nervous system and the skin, but also the mesoderm, particularly the vascular system. Extensive literature exists about the most common phakomatoses, namely neurofibromatosis, tuberous sclerosis, von Hippel-Lindau and Sturge-Weber syndrome. However, recent developments in the understanding of the molecular underpinnings of less common phakomatoses have sparked interest in these disorders.

No long-term results are available, however, regarding the significance of occlusion of a dural sinus. If the disease will stop or if other events will occur later in the remaining sinuses are not well known yet.

Method: Forty two patients (47 arteries) were treated with the cerebral protection technique, which consists in the temporary occlusion of the internal carotid artery, above the stenotic lesion, performing the aspiration and flushing of glucose solution into the internal carotid artery after the delivery of the stent and the angioplasty, to remove any atherosclerotic plaque's fragments.
Results: The angioplasty was efficient in all cases.
