Article Synopsis
- Endovascular embolization, particularly using Menox, is shown to be a safe and effective treatment for cranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) in a study involving 19 patients over a two-year period.
- Out of the patients treated, 68.4% achieved complete occlusion of their fistulas, with the highest success rates observed in certain anatomical locations.
- Adverse events were rare, with only one intra-procedural issue noted, highlighting the overall safety of using Menox in these procedures.
Delayed cerebral ischemia is a major neurological complication of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Its unpredictable course and potentially unfavorable outcome draw attention to clinicians to improve the methods for its prediction, prevention, and diagnosis. The computed tomography perfusion (CTP) technique of the brain is one of the promising methods for revealing brain areas endangered by cerebral vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients operated on because of pineal tumors. The cohort was divided depending on the surgical approach.
Predictors of unfavourable outcome in aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage.

Background: Mortality rates following aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) have decreased due to improvements in diagnoses and the management of complications, as well as early obliteration of the aneurysms. Neurogenic pulmonary oedema (NPO) is a clinical syndrome associated with an acute increase in intracranial pressure and a release of catecholamines into the circulation. This study investigated independent predictors of unfavourable outcomes (Glasgow Outcome Scores 1, 2 or 3) in patients with aSAH.

NPE occurs as a result of release of catecholamines into the blood immediately after aneurysm rupture. The aim of this study is to investigate the connection between the value of cardiac biomarkers on admission and incidence of NPE in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).

The clinical spectrum of signs and symptoms of this disease is widely variable ranging from perinatal death to a milder progressive form, which cannot be diagnosed until adolescence.
