A Case of Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia Suspected due to Anemia during Anticoagulation Therapy after Thrombectomy.

Objective: Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) may be associated with paradoxical cerebral embolism caused by pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM). We present a case of HHT diagnosed by progressive anemia during anticoagulant therapy following mechanical thrombectomy.

Case Presentation: The patient was a 59-year-old woman who presented with acute stroke due to intracranial large vessel occlusion.

Sensitivity of CT perfusion for the diagnosis of cerebral infarction.

We aimed to determine the sensitivity of CT perfusion (CTP) for the diagnosis of cerebral infarction in the acute stage. We retrospectively reviewed patients with ischemic stroke who underwent brain CTP on arrival and MRI-diffusion weighted image (DWI) after hospitalization between October 2008 and October 2011. Final diagnosis was made from MRI-DWI findings and 87 patients were identified.

[A case of cerebral infarction treated with tissue-plasminogen activator exhibiting prolonged cerebral edema for more than 1 month].

A 62-year-old man with hypertension and diabetes mellitus controlled by medication suddenly noticed slight hemiparesis and was admitted to our hospital. Tissue-plasminogen activator (t-PA) was administered as his NIHSS was 6 and there were no contraindications. His symptoms completely resolved after t-PA injection.

[A case of gangliocytoma: a six-year follow-up of cyst formation].

We report a case of gangliocytoma at a cortical and subcortical area in the right parietal lobe. The patient had a generalized seizure at 11 years of age. The MRI shows an ill-demarcated high intensity area in T2 weighted images including an enhancing tumor of 10 mm in diameter.
