Optimizations and Nuances in Neurosurgical Technique for the Minimization of Complications in Subdural Electrode Placement for Epilepsy Surgery.

Background: Surgical intervention is an important therapeutic option for patients with intractable epilepsy and a well-characterized epileptogenic focus. Invasive monitoring with subdural electrodes is an effective technique for localizing epileptogenic foci. Previous studies reported varying complication rates, and these may deter more widespread adoption.

Delayed endovascular revascularization in a patient with progressive neurological deterioration from bilateral intracranial vertebral artery occlusions: case report.

Background And Importance: This article describes delayed endovascular revascularization in a patient with clinical and radiographic evidence of posterior circulation hemodynamic failure in the setting of intracranial occlusive lesions.

Clinical Presentation: A 48-year-old man presented with a 6-week history of progressive headache, nausea, and ataxia. Bilateral intracranial vertebral artery occlusions and a left posterior inferior cerebellar artery stroke were diagnosed, and the patient began warfarin therapy.
