Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between the angioarchitecture of brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs) and how they present clinically, as this relationship has been debated in the medical community.
- A total of 183 patients were reviewed, categorized by their clinical symptoms such as hemorrhage, seizure, headache, progressive neurological deficits, or incidental findings.
- Significant correlations were found, such as hemorrhage being more common in females and linked to specific angioarchitectural features, highlighting the potential for developing predictive models to identify clinical presentations based on these characteristics.*
Objective: The aim of this study was to describe 27 patients with 32 web vessels (WVs) from our practice and provide a review of the literature regarding imaging diagnostics, clinical presentation, and treatment of WVs.
Methods: A MEDLINE search was performed using combinations of the following terms: "stroke in young adults," "web," "recurrent stroke," "diaphragm-like," "atypical fibromuscular hyperplasia," "atypical fibromuscular dysplasia," "septal fibromuscular dysplasia," "septa," "diaphragms," "pseudovalvular folds," and "carotid diaphragm." Our series was added in this review.
Object: The Thoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity Score (TLICS) was developed to improve injury classification and guide surgical decision making, yet validation remains necessary. This study evaluates the neurological outcome of patients with thoracolumbar spine trauma (TLST) treated according to the TLICS.
Methods: The TLICS was prospectively applied to a consecutive series of patients treated for TLST between 2009 and 2012.
