Cerebral cavernous malformations are rarely described in children. Giant cavernous malformations are exceptional in this group of patients. The authors reports a case of an eleven months boy, who begins at the sixth month of life with epilepsy. Medical therapy was advised and imagenological studies were carried out. An IRM was performed, and shows a giant cavernous malformation in the right parietal lobe. Surgery was carried out, with complete resection of the lesion. In the postoperative period and at more than a year of follow up, he was free of crisis. We report the case because of the rarity of a giant cavernous angioma in a patient less than a year old.

Treatment of Unruptured Large and Giant Carotid Cavernous Aneurysms in Japan at the Time of Flow Diverter Introduction: A Nationwide, Multicenter Survey by the Japanese Society on Surgery for Cerebral Stroke.

Background: Flow diverters (FDs) have been introduced for the management of large or giant cavernous carotid aneurysms (CCAs) in addition to conventional modalities, dramatically changing treatment strategies. The aim of this study was to examine the management of unruptured large/giant CCAs in Japan when FDs were being introduced using a nationwide survey.
Methods: 540 unruptured large/giant CCAs treated at neurosurgical teaching departments in Japan between 2012 and 2016 were retrospectively studied.

Objective: Giant aneurysms of the cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery presenting as acute ischemic stroke (AIS) are rare and often misdiagnosed. Limited treatment experience further complicates management.
Case Presentation: A 70-year-old female presented with acute right middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion due to a dislodged thrombus from a giant internal carotid aneurysm.

Background: Flow diverting stents (FDS) are an established endovascular treatment for intracranial aneurysms but are reported to have varying rates of adequate occlusion and thromboembolic complications. This study reports clinical safety and efficacy results of the FRED and FRED Jr FDS in clinical practice in the UK at 6 months and 1 year.
Methods: The FRED-UK study is a single arm, multicentre, prospective, observational study conducted in the UK.

Article Synopsis
- * In a group of 45 patients treated with high-flow bypass, a 96% success rate in graft patency was observed, with significant thrombosis rates (78% at one year and 96% at three years) and neurological symptom improvement in 69% of cases.
- * The research concludes that high-flow bypass remains a viable treatment alternative, especially when flow diverter stenting may not be suitable, emphasizing its high safety and effectiveness.
