Spinal cord infarction after coil embolization of a basilar tip aneurysm: A case report and literature review.

Background: Spinal cord infarction is a rare but serious complication of neurointervention that has been rarely documented. An association between spinal cord infarction and the placement of large bore catheters in the vertebral artery (VA) has been mentioned, but the precise etiology remains unclear.

Case Description: A 72-year-old female presented with the right hemiparesis and left thermal hypoalgesia directly after endovascular coil embolization for an unruptured basilar tip aneurysm.

Lumbar Canal Stenosis Caused by Spondylolisthesis and Intraspinal Canal Calcifications Associated with Psoriatic Arthritis: A Case Report.

Soft tissue calcifications are common findings in patients with various diseases, such as malignant tumors, collagen diseases, trauma, and chronic kidney disease. The majority of these lesions are not clinically significant; however, they can cause specific disorders within a limited space, such as the spinal canal. Here, we report the case of a patient undergoing fusion surgery for lumbar canal stenosis due to degenerative spondylolisthesis and multiple intraspinal canal calcifications associated with psoriatic arthritis (PsA).

Understanding of Pathophysiology and Optimal Treatment for Anterior Circulation Large Vessel Occlusion beyond 24 h from Onset of Stroke.

We report three cases in which endovascular treatment (EVT) was performed for anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (LVO) beyond 24 h from the onset of stroke. Case 1 experienced left hemispatial neglect and gait disorder due to right internal cerebral artery (ICA) occlusion and underlying atherosclerosis. After percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), revascularization with mild stenosis was achieved.

Ostial common carotid artery occlusion and balloon-mounted stenting: Implication of embolic protection device in tandem lesion.

Ostial common carotid artery (CCA) stenosis is rare, compared to extracranial internal carotid artery bifurcation lesions. In cases of a tandem lesion, the proximal lesion usually involves the extracranial internal carotid artery, and the ostial CCA is rarely implicated. A 69-year-old woman who underwent 3 months of antiplatelet therapy for asymptomatic, right ostial, severely calcified CCA stenosis presented with sudden onset left hemiparesis.

[Effectiveness of Prothrombin Complex Concentrate for Warfarin-related Intracranial Hemorrhage].

Background And Purpose: Warfarin-associated intracranial hemorrhage(w-ICH)usually increases and results in unfavorable outcomes. Administration of prothrombin complex concentrate(PCC)can reverse anticoagulation and correct prothrombin time-international normalized ratio(PT-INR)immediately; it is recommended by some guidelines for cases of w-ICH. We assessed the effect of PCC on blood coagulation.
