The authors report a rare case of acute ipsilateral blindness that occurred after a standard fronto-temporal craniotomy for aneurysm in supine position. Posterior ischemic optic neuropathy caused by external pressure on the ipsilateral eye, its differentials and subsequent medico-legal implications are discussed.

Impact of white matter hyperintensity location on outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients: a lesion-symptom mapping study.
Brain Imaging Behav
January 2025
Department of Radiology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, 400016, China.
Background: Studies on the impact of white matter hyperintensity (WMH) on function outcome have primarily concentrated on WMH volume, overlooking the potential significance of WMH location. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between WMH location and outcome in patients with their first-ever acute ischemic stroke (AIS).
Methods: Patients who underwent their first AIS between September 2021 and September 2022 were recruited.
Intravenous thrombolysis in patients with acute dizziness or imbalance and suspected ischemic stroke-systematic review.
J Neurol
January 2025
Neurology, Cantonal Hospital of Baden, Baden, Switzerland.
Background: Correct identification of those patients presenting with an acute vestibular syndrome (AVS) or an acute imbalance syndrome (AIS) that have underlying posterior-circulation stroke (PCS) and thus may benefit from revascularization (intravenous thrombolysis (IVT), endovascular therapy (EVT)) is important. Treatment guidelines for AVS/AIS patients are lacking. We reviewed the evidence on acute treatment strategies in AVS/AIS focusing on predictors for IVT/EVT and outcome.

January 2025
Department of Neurology, University of Health Sciences, Fatih Sultan Mehmet Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey.
Background: It has been suggested that smokers have higher recanalization rate, lower risk of cerebral hemorrhage and better prognosis than non-smokers (smoking paradox) after reperfusion therapy in patients with acute ischemic stroke (IS). This study aimed to assess the effects of smoking on recanalization, intracranial hemorrhage, and clinical outcomes in patients with acute IS following reperfusion therapy.
Methods: Patients were categorized into smokers and non-smokers, with data collected on types of reperfusion therapy, demographics, medication use, comorbidities, stroke etiology, mRS and NIHSS scores, TICI and ECASS classifications.
Deep-learning-based extraction of circle of Willis topology with anatomical priors.
Sci Rep

Department of Applied Mathematics, Technical Medical Centre, University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands.
The circle of Willis (CoW) is a circular arrangement of arteries in the human brain, exhibiting significant anatomical variability. The CoW is extensively studied in relation to neurovascular pathologies, with certain anatomical variants previously linked to ischemic stroke and intracranial aneurysms. In an individual CoW, arteries might be absent (aplasia) or underdeveloped (hypoplasia, diameter < 1 mm).

Department of Neuroscience, University of Padova, Italy; Padova Neuroscience Center, University of Padova, Italy. Electronic address:
Mixed Transcortical Aphasia (MTA) is an infrequent aphasic syndrome, characterized by poor comprehension and production in oral language abilities and poor performance in written language abilities. However, individuals with MTA typically retain the ability to repeat. Our patient, a woman who suffered from a left hemisphere ischemic stroke involving perisylvian areas, presented with repetition preserved for words, non-words, sentences and numbers, together with marginally preserved reading abilities.
