Objective: Laterocavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) are rare and not always accessible transvenously due to their angioarchitecture. We report a case of non-sinus-type laterocavernous sinus DAVF treated by endovascular transarterial venous coil embolization.

Case Presentation: A 78-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with loss of consciousness, right hemiparesis, and motor aphasia.

Objective: We report a patient with normal imaging findings at the onset of preceding headache who developed subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to intracranial vertebral artery dissection 7 days later.

Case Presentation: A 51-year-old woman with a history of chronic headache visited our emergency outpatient department with a complaint of mild to moderate right nuchal pain. CT, MRA, and MRI (diffusion-weighted image, T2-weighted image, FLAIR, MR cisternography, and basi-parallel anatomical scanning) were normal.

Background: Positive data from several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of endovascular treatment (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (ACLVO) have emerged. However, little evidence exists on EVT for acute extracranial internal carotid artery (EC-ICA) occlusion. We therefore analysed the outcome and effect of EVT on AIS due to ACLVO caused by EC-ICA occlusion, including tandem occlusion compared with that caused by pure intracranial artery occlusion.

We report a patient with Trousseau syndrome who presented with repeated acute middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion, which was successfully treated by performing mechanical thrombectomy. A 66-year-old man with a lung lesion and abdominal lymph node swelling experienced a sudden onset of left hemiparesis. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) revealed a right MCA occlusion.
