Factors associated with the initial intracranial hemorrhage occurrence in patients with cerebral venous thrombosis.

Objectives: Studies focusing on intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in patients with cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) are limited; thus, we aimed to identify factors associated with the occurrence of ICH in Thai patients with CVT.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study recruited patients with CVT admitted to a tertiary university-based hospital between 2002 and 2022. The baseline characteristics, clinical presentations, radiographic findings, and etiologies were compared between the ICH and non-ICH groups.

Changes in Modified Raymond-Roy Classification Occlusion Classes and Predictors of Recurrence-Free Survival in Patients with Intracranial Aneurysms after Endovascular Coil Embolization.

Purpose: To assess changes in modified Raymond-Roy classification (MRRC) occlusion classes and recurrence rates over time and evaluate recurrence-free survival after coil embolization and its predictors.

Materials And Methods: During 2007-2016, 201 patients (mean age, 57.1 ± 13.

Factors associated with acute symptomatic seizure occurrence among patients with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome.

Objectives: We aimed to define the factors associated with acute symptomatic seizure occurrence in posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) in the Thai-Asian population.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study enrolling patients with PRES admitted to the hospital between 2006 and 2019. In addition to seizure characteristics, baseline characteristics, clinical presentations, precipitating factors, neuroimaging characteristics, hospital complications, and hospital outcomes were compared between the seizure and non-seizure groups.

Predictors of seizure control in patients with cerebral arteriovenous malformation.

Purpose: We aimed to define the predictors of a 2-year seizure-free outcome among patients with cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM).

Methods: A retrospective cohort study recruited patients diagnosed with AVM admitted in the hospital between 2002 and 2020. The demographic data, clinical presentations, seizure semiology, neuro-imaging findings, modality of treatment, and clinical outcomes were compared between the 2-year seizure-free and non-2-year seizure-free groups.

Multidisciplinary management of a penetrating cerebellar injury by a fishing speargun: A case study and literature review.

Background: Fishing spearguns are a rare cause of nonmissile penetrating brain injuries (PBIs). Discussion of their injury patterns and treatments has been published only sporadically. Here, we report a case of a self-inflicted PBI caused by this type of weapon and present an extensive review of previous case reports to help ascertain the appropriate surgical approach.

Comparison of multimodal CT scan protocols used for decision-making on mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke.

Purpose: Different CT-based protocols are being used in acute ischemic stroke. We aimed to assess the added value of delayed-phase CT angiography (CTA) and CT perfusion (CTP) to a basic protocol using non-contrast computerized tomography (NCCT) with arterial-phase CTA in patient selection for mechanical thrombectomy.

Methods: We retrospectively included consecutive acute ischemic stroke patients with a symptomatic intracranial arterial occlusion between January 2015 and November 2016 who underwent NCCT, arterial and delayed-phase CTA, and CTP.

Outcome of Ruptured Posterior Communicating Artery Aneurysm Treatment Comparing Between Clipping and Coiling Techniques.

Background: Very few data stratify the functional outcome of ruptured posterior communicating artery (PCoA) aneurysm treatment based on each treatment strategy. Therefore, the authors aimed to evaluate the outcome of PCoA aneurysm treatment to compare the clipping and coiling techniques and find the factors that determined the treatment outcomes.

Methods: Patients with ruptured PCoA aneurysm at Songklanagarind Hospital between November 2002 and March 2018 were retrospectively reviewed and classified into the clipping group or the coiling group.

PHASES and ELAPSS Scores Are Associated with Aneurysm Growth: A Study of 431 Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms.

Background: Understanding risk factors for intracranial aneurysm growth is important for patient management. We performed a retrospective study examining risk factors for the growth of unruptured intracranial aneurysms followed at our institution, evaluating both traditional risk factors and the PHASES (Population, Hypertension, Age, Size, Earlier Subarachnoid Hemorrhage, Site) score.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed a consecutive series of unruptured intracranial aneurysms followed at our institution for a minimum of 6 months over a 15-year period.

Is intervertebral cement leakage a risk factor for new adjacent vertebral collapse?

This retrospective study evaluated the relationship between intervertebral cement leakage and new adjacent vertebral fracture and describes the different characteristics of cement leakage. Increased risk of new adjacent vertebral fracture (NF) has been reported to be a complication of cement leakage in vertebroplasty. In our observation, an incidental intervertebral cement leakage may occur during vertebroplasty but is commonly asymptomatic.
