Many reports have been published on complications related to middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm surgical clipping procedures. We report an emergency intracranial in situ bypass surgery case which was performed as a rescue procedure after aneurysmal neck laceration during clipping of an MCA large aneurysm. In this case, we performed in situ M3-superficial temporal artery (STA) interposition graft-M3 bypass procedure. If a STA-MCA anastomosis is not available under MCA flow obstruction, we can consider an emergency in situ MCA-MCA bypass procedure with or without an STA interposition graft.

Superficial temporal artery and middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) bypass surgery is an effective method to enhance cerebral blood flow (CBF) in ischemic patients. However, the effectiveness of various bypass techniques varies with the diversity of Circle of Willis (CoW) structures. This study aims to develop a physiologically realistic hemodynamic model to optimize STA-MCA bypass planning for cerebral ischemia patients with different CoW structures.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to explore how plasma α-synuclein levels relate to cerebral blood flow in Parkinson's disease patients who experience freezing of gait (FOG).
  • A total of 120 Parkinson's patients were assessed for FOG and divided into two groups: those with FOG and those without.
  • Results showed that patients with FOG had slower blood flow in key arteries and higher α-synuclein levels, indicating that these factors independently increase the risk of FOG in Parkinson's disease.

This case series reports three patients initially managed for presumed infectious meningoencephalitis, who were ultimately diagnosed with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein associated disease (MOGAD). Their clinical presentations were strikingly similar to those of acute infectious meningoencephalitis, which posed a challenge to the initial diagnostic process. Notably, despite the absence of typical radiological changes associated with MOGAD, such as cerebral cortical encephalitis, these patients exhibited focal neurological and electroencephalographic changes.

Infectious intracranial aneurysms and embolic strokes are common neurological complications in patients with infective endocarditis. Diagnostic cerebral angiograms are often performed prior to cardiac valve repair if an infectious intracranial aneurysm or intracranial hemorrhage is suspected. We report a unique case of a patient with endocarditis who experienced an embolic stroke that resulted in large-vessel occlusion (LVO) of the middle cerebral artery during a diagnostic cerebral angiogram.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of cultured calculus bovis (ICCB) on cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury (CIRI) and its mechanism.

Methods: The CIRI animal model and cell model were induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in Sprague Dawley rats and oxygen glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) in BV2 cells, respectively. The CIRI of rat model was evaluated using modified neurological severity score (mNSS), brain water content, and cerebral infarction volume after 1.
