We report two patients with coarctation of the aorta who were admitted to the hospital with ruptured cerebral artery aneurysms. In both patients, we surgically treated the coarctation and later repaired the intracranial lesion. One patient, a 34-year-old woman, is alive and well after 3 years; whereas, the other, a 19-year-old man, did not survive. We discuss the sequence for surgery, which continues to be subjected to debate.

The anatomical characteristics of middle cerebral artery aneurysms make endovascular treatment difficult. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of endovascular treatment of unruptured middle cerebral artery aneurysm in preventing rupture. A retrospective review of patients who underwent coil embolization for unruptured middle cerebral artery aneurysm between 2006 and 2022 at Nagoya University Hospital with at least 12 months followed up was conducted.

Purpose: To investigate the safety and efficacy of endovascular embolization combined with external drainage for poor-grade ruptured cerebral aneurysms and risk factors.
Materials And Methods: Forty-six patients with poor-grade ruptured cerebral aneurysms treated with endovascular embolization combined with decompressive craniectomy and drainage were retrospectively enrolled.
Results: Coil embolization alone was performed in 29 (63.

Background: Nocardia are widely present in nature and considered opportunistic pathogens. They can result in hematogenous spread infection through the ruptured skin or respiratory tract when the host's immune system is compromised. Currently, 119 species of Nocardia have been identified, with 54 capable of causing infections in humans.

Introduction: Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) represent a complex neurosurgical challenge with management strategies that vary significantly across regions. The decision to treat unruptured AVMs, in particular, is controversial, with options ranging from conservative management to surgical excision or endovascular embolization. This study investigates regional variations in treating unruptured and ruptured AVMs in the United States.

Background And Objectives: Direct visualization of the aneurysmal neck and its related perforating arteries during microsurgical clipping of posterior communicating artery (PCoA) aneurysms with posterior projection or true PCoA aneurysms through the pterional approach may be difficult and complicated.
Methods: From January 2022 to January 2023, the clinical and angiographic information regarding PCoA aneurysms were retrospectively collected. Among them, 10 consecutive patients with PCoA aneurysms treated with microsurgical clipping via the subtemporal approach in our single institution were included.
