Stroke and Pulmonary Thromboembolism Complicating a Kissing Aneurysm in the M1 Segment of the Right MCA.

Kissing aneurysms, a rare and intriguing cerebrovascular anomaly, challenge even the most advanced neurosurgical techniques. These lesions, characterized by two intimately apposed aneurysms with shared arterial walls, often masquerade as single, irregular aneurysms. This report documents a case of ruptured kissing aneurysms in the M1 segment of the right middle cerebral artery (MCA), complicated by ischemic stroke and pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE)-a convergence of severe complications rarely encountered.

Clinical Presentation, Treatment Outcomes, and Demographic Trends in Vestibular Schwannomas: A 135-Case Retrospective Study.

: This study presents a comprehensive analysis of 135 cases of vestibular schwannoma (VS) treated between 2006 and 2022 at the National Institute of Neurology and Neurovascular Diseases in Bucharest, Romania. The investigation focuses on the clinical presentation, treatment outcomes, and demographic trends of VS patients, highlighting region-specific insights that fill critical gaps in Eastern European data. : Patients were treated with either open surgery (93.

Single-Stage Microsurgical Clipping of Multiple Intracranial Aneurysms in a Patient with Cerebral Atherosclerosis: A Case Report and Review of Surgical Management.

The management of multiple intracranial aneurysms presents significant clinical challenges, particularly when complicated by underlying conditions such as cerebral atherosclerosis. This case report highlights the successful treatment of a 66-year-old female diagnosed with three intracranial aneurysms located in the right middle cerebral artery (MCA), pericallosal artery, and M2 segment. The patient also had a history of systemic atherosclerosis and right-sided breast cancer, factors that increased the complexity of surgical intervention.

Cerebellar Cavernoma Resection: Case Report with Long-Term Follow-Up.

: Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs), particularly when located in the cerebellum, pose unique clinical challenges due to the risk of hemorrhage and proximity to critical neurovascular structures. Surgical resection is often necessary to prevent further neurological deterioration. This case report describes the management of a symptomatic cerebellar cavernoma, emphasizing the use of microsurgical techniques and long-term follow-up.

Navigating the Rare and Dangerous: Successful Clipping of a Superior Cerebellar Artery Aneurysm Against the Odds of Uncontrolled Hypertension.

: Superior cerebellar artery (SCA) aneurysms are exceedingly rare, posing unique diagnostic and management challenges due to their complex anatomical location within the posterior circulation. The proximity of the SCA to vital structures, such as the brainstem and cerebellum, along with the significant role of poorly controlled hypertension in aneurysm formation, further complicates treatment. This case aims to highlight the surgical approach and management strategies employed in treating a rare SCA aneurysm in a patient with longstanding hypertension.
