Long-Term Neurocognitive Outcomes in Patients with Adult Moyamoya Disease.

Objective: Neurocognitive impairment is a frequent complication of moyamoya disease in adults, but the long-term outcomes of neurocognitive function remain unclear. We evaluated neurocognitive functions in a group of patients with a history of moyamoya disease and assessed the relationship between regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and neurocognitive functions.

Methods: We studied 53 patients with a history of adult moyamoya disease.

Clinical outcomes after craniotomy for unruptured intracranial aneurysm in patients with coronary artery disease.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) patients receiving antiplatelet agents occasionally undergo craniotomy. We aimed to clarify clinical outcomes after craniotomy for unruptured intracranial aneurysm (UIA) in patients with CAD. We also aimed to identify the possible predictive factors for morbidity and surgical complications in patients on antiplatelet treatment.

Impact of antithrombotic treatment on clinical outcomes after craniotomy for unruptured intracranial aneurysm.

Objective: Patients receiving antithrombotic treatment occasionally undergo craniotomy. We aimed to explore the impact of perioperative use of antithrombotic agents on the occurrence of surgical complications and clinical outcomes in patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysm (UIA).

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 401 consecutive patients who had undergone craniotomy for UIA at our institution between January 2006 and December 2016.
