Outcome of Endovascular Therapy Aiming for Single-session Obliteration of Intracranial Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas.

The goal of dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF) treatment is obliteration of the arteriovenous shunt and/or retrograde leptomeningeal venous drainage (RLVD). Single-session obliteration could improve symptoms early and reduce risk of neurological sequelae. This study investigated the efficacy and adverse events of endovascular therapy (EVT) aiming for single-session obliteration in dAVF treatment.

Spontaneous Persistent Primitive Trigeminal Artery-Cavernous Sinus Fistula Successfully Treated by Multipronged Coil Embolization: Case Report and Literature Review.

Background: A spontaneous persistent primitive trigeminal artery-cavernous sinus fistula (PCF) is extremely rare. Until recently, endovascular treatment for PCF involving transarterial and/or transvenous coil embolization of the cavernous sinus (with/without the persistent trigeminal artery) was commonly performed. However, it may result in remaining shunt flow or exacerbation of cranial nerve palsy.

Neurosurgical Management and Outcomes of Cerebrovascular Disease in Pediatric Patients with Heart Disease.

Antithrombotic treatment has substantial risks, even in pediatric patients. We retrospectively evaluated the management and outcomes of consecutive pediatric patients who underwent neurosurgical treatment for cerebrovascular disease with cardiovascular disease between 1998 and 2017. Patients were divided into patients with comorbid cardiovascular disease (group I); and patients with cardiovascular disease as a primary disease of intracranial complication, without (group IIa) or with (group IIb) extracorporeal circulations.

[A case of occipital diploic dermoid tumor with perforation of the dura].

Along with epidermoid cysts, dermoid cysts are uncommon, benign and slow-growing lesions. We described a case of diploic dermoid cyst of the occipital bone with an intracranial extension in the right posterior fossa diagnosed and subjected to pathological examination. A 63-year-old man presented with dizziness at the time of posture conversion.

[A case of tumor progression after gamma knife radiosurgery for brain metastasis of thyroid papillary carcinoma in deep subcortical white matter].

We report a case of a brain metastasis of thyroid papillary carcinoma. A 67-year-old man had undergone a radical operation for thyroid papillary carcinoma 6 years before. He had no neurological deficit, but CT showed an enhanced lesion in the left frontal lobe.
