Vertebral artery dissecting aneurysm with Cushing's syndrome: case report.

A 45-year-old woman presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage of World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies grade IV. Cerebral angiography showed a dissecting aneurysm of the right vertebral artery (VA). Internal trapping of the right VA with coils was performed.

Cognitive impairment after traumatic brain injury: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study using the Stroop task.

The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) plays a key role in cognition, motor function, and emotion processing. However, little is known about how traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects the ACC system. Our purpose was to compare, by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies, the patterns of cortical activation in patients with cognitive impairment after TBI and those of normal subjects.

[A case of a bacterial brain abscess presenting as symptoms of 'sudden stroke-like' onset].

We report a case of a bacterial brain abscess presenting symptoms of 'sudden stroke-like' onset, associated with infective endocarditis. A 59-year-old woman experienced a sudden stroke-like onset of left hemiplegia. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed on the day of ictus.
