Effectiveness of the Digging through Thrombus Technique by Using an Aspiration Catheter and Stent Retriever for Cerebral Venous Thrombosis.

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare cause of stroke, and the first-line treatment is systemic anticoagulation. Patients unresponsive to standard therapy for CVT present with rapid neurological deterioration and require endovascular treatment. We encountered two patients with severe CVT who underwent endovascular treatment.

Narrowing of the angle of the parent artery after coil embolization increases the risk for aneurysm recurrence.

Objective: Aneurysm recurrence after coiling is a major complication in some cases, including cases of repeated recurrences. In this study, we identified a relationship between the recurrence of a coiled aneurysm and angle change of the parent artery.

Methods: From April 2008 to December 2019, we performed 283 coil embolizations to treat 256 aneurysms in 251 patients.

A juvenile case of epilepsy-associated, isocitrate dehydrogenase wild-type/histone 3 wild-type diffuse glioma with a rare BRAF mutation.

Here, we report a juvenile (18-year-old male) case of epilepsy-associated, isocitrate dehydrogenase wild-type/histone 3 wild-type diffuse glioma with a rare BRAF mutation and a focal atypical feature resembling diffuse astrocytoma. The patient presented with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy. Subsequently, magnetic resonance imaging revealed a hyperintense lesion in the right temporal lobe on fluid attenuated inversion recovery images.

Mechanical Thrombectomy of Primary Distal Anterior Cerebral Artery Occlusion: A Case Report.

Objective: Primary anterior cerebral artery (ACA) occlusion is a rare condition and sometimes leads to significant neurological deficits. We herein report on the efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in treating the distal ACA occlusion in a clinical setting.

Case Presentation: A 76-year-old woman presented with a sudden onset of right hemiparesis.

Surgical histopathology of limited dorsal myeloschisis with flat skin lesion.

Purpose: Limited dorsal myeloschisis (LDM) is characterized by two invariable features: a focal closed neural tube defect and a fibroneural stalk linking the skin lesion to the underlying spinal cord. Although detailed histopathological findings of the LDM stalk were originally described by Pang et al., the precise relationship between the histopathological findings and clinical manifestations including intraoperative findings has not been fully determined.
