Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the histological reasons behind vessel wall enhancement (WE) observed in MRI scans, finding it to be a significant indicator of aneurysms likely to rupture, surpassing traditional risk assessments.
- - Conducted at Vall d'Hebron University Hospital, the research included 132 patients with saccular intracranial aneurysms, examining their MRI results and classifying them based on symptoms and rupture status.
- - Results indicated that WE occurred in 36.5% of aneurysms, with it being a strong predictor for symptomatic and ruptured aneurysms, linked to specific immune cell markers related to inflammation.
Background: Pituitary apoplexy is a life-threatening event with unspecific clinical background and no standardized treatment.
Materials And Methods: The authors retrospectively analyzed seventeen patients affected by pituitary adenoma apoplexy and treated in a 10-year period. Thirteen patients underwent surgery through transsphenoidal route while four patients have been treated conservatively.
Anterior plagiocephaly is a premature closing of unilateral coronal suture. This premature suture fusion causes a series of cranial asymmetry and alteration of the fronto-orbital region.The authors described a new surgical technique to correct the facial asymmetry that reduces the operative time and the possible complications.

The present study aimed to evaluate the long-term effects of CC on adaptive behaviors and caregivers' satisfaction in addition to seizures and to identify clinical predictors of postsurgical outcomes. Medical records of 26 patients (mean age at study time: 40 years, mean follow-up: 14 years) with childhood-onset epilepsy who underwent anterior or 2-stage complete CC were reviewed.
