Sacral Insufficiency Fractures : How to Classify?

Objective: The diagnosis of insufficiency fractures of the sacrum in an elder population increases annually. Fractures show very different morphology. We aimed to classify sacral insufficiency fractures according to the position of cortical break and possible need for intervention.

Interdisciplinary treatment selection in admitted patients with acute subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Objective: To review the angiographic and clinical outcomes from acute (first 6 hours after bleeding) interdisciplinary treated patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysm.

Method: An interventional neuroradiologist and a neurosurgeon set the emergent treatment of 100 consecutive patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) harboring 111 cerebral aneurysms. Decisions were based on the patient's clinical condition, aneurysm's morphology and location, presence of intracranial mass-occupying process (IMOP), angiographic flow distribution patterns and treatment-related risk profit.
