Background And Purpose: Decompressive hemicraniectomy (DH) improves survival and functional outcome in large middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarcts. However, long-term cognitive outcomes after DH remain underexplored. In a cohort of patients with large right-hemisphere MCA infarction undergoing DH, we assessed the rates of long-term cognitive impairment over 3-year follow-up.

- The study evaluated postoperative outcomes in 9 patients with unruptured giant middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms linked to intracranial hypertension and midline brain shift from 2012 to 2022.
- Four patients underwent deep hypothermic circulatory flow reduction while five received cerebral revascularization with aneurysm trapping, with outcomes monitored early and long-term.
- Postoperative complications included diffuse cerebral edema and neurological deterioration, with suggestions for decompressive hemicraniotomy and improved blood flow assessment to enhance recovery.
Introduction: The etiology of brain aneurysms remains poorly understood. Finnish research suggests that oral bacteria might contribute to the development and rupture of brain aneurysms. Previous studies by our team have not confirmed these findings, likely due to methodological differences.

Methods: From 2012 to 2022, among the 3128 patients with ruptured or unruptured intracranial aneurysms managed at the authors' institution, 954 patients were treated by a microsurgical procedure. Of these 3128 patients, 60 consecutive patients (6.
Objective: This study was design to investigate the surgical and functional outcome based on the preaneurysmal M length for unruptured MCA aneurysm.
Methods: Among 250 consecutive patients with unruptured aneurysms operated in our institution between 2015 and 2017, 72 were MCA aneurysms. Risk factors for IR (i.
