Introduction: Tolosa-Hunt syndrome (THS) is a disorder related to inflammation of cavernous sinus and superior orbital fissure that usually presents with ophthalmoplegia and oculomotor nerve palsies. The etiology of the syndrome is unknown and the diagnosis is set by exclusion of other clinical conditions that manifest in a similar way. Intracranial aneurysms, such as intracavernous ones, should be included in the differential diagnosis as they can compress cranial nerves leading to similar clinical presentation.

French-American neurointerventionalist and pioneer, Dr Gerard Debrun, laid the groundwork for treatments which have become irreplaceable in neurointerventional surgery today. This article aims to outline the career of Dr Debrun while highlighting his accomplishments and contributions to the field of neurointerventional surgery. We selected relevant articles from PubMed authored or co-authored by Dr Debrun between 1941 and 2023.

The detachable balloon catheter (DBC) was a revolutionary technique for the treatment of cerebrovascular pathologies. It was used to treat carotid cavernous fistulas (CCFs), vertebro-jugular fistulas, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and aneurysms. The DBC became the foundation for neurointerventional techniques, leading to the development of coil embolization and bioactives.

Background: Subarachnoid hemorrhage is a severe neurological condition that requires prompt and appropriate treatment to prevent complications. Aneurysms are the most common cause of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage. Conversely, basilar artery perforator aneurysms (BAPAs) are a rare etiology.

Background: Currently, endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms (ICAs) is limited by low complete occlusion rates. The advent of novel endovascular technology has expanded the applicability of endovascular therapy; however, the superiority of novel embolic devices over the traditional Guglielmi detachable coils (GDCs) is still debated. We performed a systematic review of literature that reported Raymond-Roy occlusion classification (RROC) rates of modern endovascular devices to determine their immediate and follow-up occlusion effectiveness for the treatment of unruptured saccular ICAs.
