AI Article Synopsis
- A 26-week-old fetus was diagnosed in utero with complete bilateral cerebellar infarction using routine prenatal ultrasound and MRI.
- This condition is associated with posterior fossa ischemic stroke, linked to a thrombosis in the vertebrobasilar artery, which led to temporary obstructive hydrocephalus.
- Cases like this are uncommon, and the report discusses the imaging results and potential impacts on the fetus's clinical and developmental future.
Article Abstract
We report a case of complete bilateral cerebellar infarction diagnosed in utero by routine prenatal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging in a 26-week-old fetus. This posterior fossa ischemic stroke with secondary hemorrhage caused transient obstructive hydrocephalus and likely occurred subsequent to vertebrobasilar artery thrombosis. Such posterior fossa ischemic insults diagnosed in utero are rare with scarce clinical reports. The serial imaging characteristics, clinical, and developmental implications of this case are reviewed.

This study aims to evaluate cognitive impairments in patients with acute cerebellar infarction using event-related potentials (ERP) and electrophysiological source imaging (ESI). Thirty patients with acute cerebellar infarction and 32 healthy volunteers were selected. Cognitive potentials were recorded and measured using a visual Oddball paradigm.

Bone or cartilage anomalies affecting the arteries supplying the brain can be a structural cause of ischemic stroke. Due to their rarity, there is currently no standardized approach for evaluating and treating these so-called bony strokes. We present a case of a 79-year-old woman with a history of cranial settling due to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and moderate disability, who presented with insidious dizziness and gait disturbances over three weeks.

Background And Purpose: The dorsolateral portion of the caudal pons contains the vestibular nucleus (VN) and inferior cerebellar peduncle (ICP) that play important roles in conveying and processing vestibular and ocular motor signals. This study aimed to characterize ocular motor abnormalities along with their anatomical correlations in dorsolateral pons (DLP) lesions.
Methods: We analyzed clinical features, and results of neuro-otological evaluations and neuroimaging of 18 patients with unilateral DLP lesions (17 with DLP infarction and 1 with cavernous malformation) from among 506 patients with pontine infarction in a stroke registry.

Introduction: Fahr disease and Fahr syndrome represent clinical entities that result in diffuse intracranial brain calcification, either by way of genetic mutation in the case of the former or by secondary endocrine dysfunction in the latter.
Case Report: We present a case of a middle-aged male with undiagnosed Fahr syndrome, identified during evaluation for symptoms of an acute posterior circulation cerebrovascular accident.
Conclusion: Fahr syndrome is a clinical constellation of symptoms and radiographic findings often seen in late-stage hypoparathyroidism.
Deep brain stimulation combined with morroniside promotes neural plasticity and motor functional recovery after ischemic stroke.

Background And Objective: Until now, there has been an unmet need for treatments promoting chronic-phase post-stroke functional recovery. We previously found that morroniside promoted endogenous neurogenesis in ischemic stroke, but its therapeutic window was limited to the first 48 h. Here, we aimed to explore whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) combined with morroniside could enhance neurogenesis in rats subjected to focal ischemic stroke and contributes to functional recovery.
