A 50-year-old male patient presented with a rare dural supratentorial hemangioblastoma manifesting as severe headache persisting for 2 months. Neuroimaging revealed a tumoral mass localized in the right parietal lobe near the sagittal sinus. The tumor was totally excised successfully. The postoperative histological diagnosis was hemangioblastoma. Such supratentorial hemangioblastomas can easily be removed because of the arachnoid cleavage plane.

Background: Olfactory neuroblastoma (ON) is a highly aggressive and locally recurrent neoplasm. Distant systemic metastases are not uncommon, but remote leptomeningeal dissemination is extremely rare.

Case Description: We report 2 cases of ON previously treated with endoscopic endonasal radical surgical resection and radiotherapy.

Background And Purpose: Clinical trials have shown that robust collateral flow has a relationship with good clinical outcome; however, different stroke subtypes were lumped together. This study explored the relationship between baseline collaterals and the onset-to-imaging time (OIT) and the correlation between pre-treatment collateral status and clinical outcome amongst different subtypes.

Method: Prospectively collected data from consecutive acute ischaemic stroke patients with acute middle cerebral artery occlusion who received reperfusion therapy were reviewed.
