Recovery of third nerve palsy after endovascular treatment of posterior communicating artery aneurysms.

Background: High recovery rates after endovascular treatment of TNP-inducing PcomA aneurysms have been reported. However, only few and often small series were reported. The results of the 2 available comparative studies are controversial.

Brain stem diffusion-weighted imaging lesion score: a potential marker of outcome in acute basilar artery occlusion.

Background And Purpose: The benefit of recanalization in basilar artery occlusion (BAO) has been established. The baseline extent of brain stem damage may also influence the outcome. We investigated whether a baseline diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) score may provide additional prognostic value in BAO.

Dural arteriovenous fistula of the anterior fossa treated with the Onyx liquid embolic system and the Sonic microcatheter.

We report an association of new technologies (the Onyx liquid embolic system and the Sonic microcatheter) for transarterial embolization through the anterior branch of the middle meningeal artery of a dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) of the anterior fossa. The place of endovascular treatment in anterior fossa DAVFs is reviewed, and its clinical implications discussed in light of the case of a patient whose management was modified by this association of new technologies.

[Spinal dural arteriovenous fistula with peri-medullary venous drainage: analysis of a series from a single centre and review of the literature].

Introduction: The optimal diagnosis and therapeutic managements of spinal dural arteriovenous fistulae, a rare disease, is discussed.

Material And Methods: We report a series of 10 patients seen in a 7-year period, treated by embolization.

Results: There were 6 males and 4 females, with an average age of 58.
