Coil embolization of cerebral aneurysms often encounters challenges in achieving complete filling of the aneurysm sac due to complex shapes and hemodynamic factors, frequently resulting in the formation of a residual cavity (RC) at the aneurysm neck. The hemodynamic mechanisms underlying RC formation and growth, however, remain poorly understood. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis, combined with silent MRA free from contrast agents and metal artifacts, offers a promising approach to elucidate these mechanisms, potentially enhancing the clinical management of cerebral aneurysms post-coiling.

It was first described in 1983; however, it is an uncommon syndrome that initially presents with nonspecific shoulder pain or selective deltoid atrophy, and diagnosis is often delayed owing to its rarity. Young athletes of overhead sports are more commonly affected by this syndrome.

Background: Preliminary small-sample studies suggest that silent magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) has an advantage over time-of-flight MRA (TOF MRA) in the characterization of brain arteriovenous malformation (BAVM), but did not examine whether the imaging performance of silent MRA was affected by the intrinsic features of BAVM or common clinical factors. This study sought to compare silent MRA and TOF MRA in terms of the visualization and grading of BAVMs in various clinical settings.
Methods: In total, 85 participants (50 males, 35 females; mean age: 33.

Silent Brain Infarction (SBI) is increasingly recognized in patients with cardiac conditions, particularly Atrial Fibrillation (AF) in elderly patients and those undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI). While these infarcts often go unnoticed due to a lack of acute symptoms, they are associated with a threefold increase in stroke risk and are considered a precursor to ischemic stroke. Moreover, accumulating evidence suggests that SBI may contribute to the development of dementia, depression, and cognitive decline, particularly in the elderly population.
