Posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) aneurysms are rare. The most common complication of intracranial aneurysms is rupture causing subarachnoid hemorrhage. Ischemic infarct, although more common in giant thrombosed aneurysms, is a very rare manifestation of small intracranial aneurysms.

Article Synopsis
  • Pediatric TBI significantly affects brain development, leading to neurological issues like cognitive deficits during critical growth periods.
  • A study using controlled cortical impact (CCI) on juvenile rats revealed structural changes in hippocampal neurons at 28 days post-injury, with observed increases in soma area and decreased dendritic length in specific regions.
  • Results indicate that age at the time of injury influences the brain's plasticity and recovery, highlighting that younger rats (PND7) may not show the same structural changes as older rats (PND17) after TBI.
