Deep learning algorithm in detecting intracranial hemorrhages on emergency computed tomographies.

Background: Highly accurate detection of intracranial hemorrhages (ICH) on head computed tomography (HCT) scans can prove challenging at high-volume centers. This study aimed to determine the number of additional ICHs detected by an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm and to evaluate reasons for erroneous results at a level I trauma center with teleradiology services.

Methods: In a retrospective multi-center cohort study, consecutive emergency non-contrast HCT scans were analyzed by a commercially available ICH detection software (AIDOC, Tel Aviv, Israel).

Step Back in Order to Go Forward: Willful Enlargement and Sandwich Closure Technique for Spinal Dura Repair after Several Unsuccessful Closure Attempts.

A CSF leak is a common complication in spine surgery which is usually closed effectivly by suture and/or epidural patches. There is currently no algorithm to treat a recurrent CSF leak that fails to be closed initially. We describe the case of a recurrent cerebrospinal fluid leak that we have successfully treated using an inlay-onlay dural repair technique.

Unique Indications for Covered Stent Grafts in Neuroradiology Departments of Level 1 Trauma Centers.

Objective:  To describe unique indications for covered stent grafts in trauma-associated cerebrovascular injuries.

Patients:  Between 2006 and 2018, five patients with cerebrovascular injuries were treated with a covered stent graft. We present a retrospective analysis of technique and outcomes.
