Article Synopsis
- * It outlines the authors' experience with a transcranial endovascular approach as a solution for these difficult cases.
- * The findings suggest that this method is both safe and effective for treating dAVF when other access routes aren't viable.
Background: Due to anatomic features, including wide necks and incorporation of important branches, endovascular coiling of middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms has proved challenging. Stent assisted embolization may increase the likelihood of successful treatment.
Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing stent assisted coil embolization utilizing the Neuroform stent from 2004 to 2009 were identified by hospital billing records.
Background: Lumboperitoneal shunt (LPS), ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) and optic nerve sheath fenestration (ONSF) are accepted surgical therapies for medically refractory idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). In the subset of patients with IIH and venous sinus stenosis, dural venous sinus stenting has emerged as an alternative surgical approach.
Methods: All cases of dural stents for IIH at our institution were retrospectively reviewed.
Objective: To determine the prevalence and impact of migraine in US Army officer trainees.
Background: The prevalence of migraine in military officer trainees, frequency of diagnosis, pharmacologic management, and the impact of migraine on military training has not been previously determined. We sought to elucidate the above and also to identify trainee characteristics associated with impaired training performance because of the disabling effects of migraine.
