The consequences of cerebral herniation are compression of the brain, cranial nerves, and blood vessels that may result in serious neurologic morbidity, coma, and even death. A thorough understanding of the various patterns of cerebral herniation is essential, and it is important to remember that many of these patterns of herniation overlap. CT and MR imaging are effective at establishing the diagnosis of cerebral herniation, which will guide important decisions regarding therapeutic options and prognosis.

Impact of lumbar cerebrospinal fluid drainage to control intracranial hypertension in patients with severe traumatic brain injury: a retrospective monocentric cohort.
Crit Care
January 2025
Trauma Critical Care Unit, Montpellier University Hospital, 34295 Cedex 5, Montpellier, France.
Background: External lumbar drainage (ELD) of cerebrospinal fluid may help control intracranial pressure following a traumatic brain injury. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of ELD in post-traumatic intracranial hypertension (IH).
Methods: This retrospective monocentric cohort study was conducted in the trauma critical care unit of the regional Level-I trauma centre between January 2012 and December 2022.
Assessment of Brain Development in Children With Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia - an Automated Brain Segmentation Approach.
In Vivo
December 2024
Department of Neuroradiology, Medical Faculty Mannheim, Heidelberg University, Mannheim, Germany.
Background/aim: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a critical condition affecting newborns, which often results in long-term morbidities, including neurodevelopmental delays, which affect cognitive, motor, and behavioral functions. These delays are believed to stem from prenatal and postnatal factors, such as impaired lung development and chronic hypoxia, which disrupt normal brain growth. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of these neurodevelopmental impairments is crucial for improving prognosis and patient outcomes, particularly as advances in treatments like ECMO have increased survival rates but also pose additional risks for neurodevelopment.

Patients with complex diseases are mostly treated in a multidisciplinary setting. The impact of multidisciplinary care cannot be emphasized enough as it has the potential to significantly increase survival and, in some cases, help avoid a risky treatment approach. The aim of this case illustration is to emphasize the importance of multidisciplinary treatment and learn from the different approaches that can be made while treating such patients.

Department of Neurology, School of Medicine, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Introduction: Ischaemic stroke, primarily caused by thromboembolic events, typically arises as a consequence of underlying vascular or cardiac pathology. Non-thrombotic embolic strokes, although rare, are increasingly seen in interventional and intravascular procedures. Oxygen-ozone therapy (OOT) is one of the popular treatments for lumbar disc herniation, providing pain relief.

December 2024
Department of Cerebrovascular Diseases, Suining Central Hospital, Sichuan Province, China.
The application value of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in acute large-vessel occlusion cerebral infarction has been confirmed, but considering the poor prognosis of large-core infarction (LCI), the current guidelines and practices are based on anterior circulation small-core infarction. Reducing the perioperative complications of thrombectomy in LCIs is the key to saving more patients previously considered unsuitable for thrombectomy. Patients with acute anterior circulation cerebral infarction who were admitted to Suining Central Hospital of Sichuan Province from January 2022 to December 2023 and whose Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score value was 3-5 (the score range was 0-10, and the lower the score was, the larger the infarct area) or whose infarct core volume was ≥70 mL and who received MT were enrolled consecutively.
