Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is commonly used in setting of subarachnoid hemorrhage, but imaging features of aneurysm rupturing taking place at the time of scanning has rarely been described. The author reports a case of actively rebleeding aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery with intraventricular extravasation on the hyperacute CTA imaging. The rebleeding route, not into the third ventricle but into the lateral ventricles, can be visualized by real-time three-dimensional CT pictures. The hemorrhage broke the septum pellucidum and the lamina rostralis rather than the lamina terminalis.

Relationship between functional structures and horizontal connections in macaque inferior temporal cortex.

Sci Rep

Horizontal connections in anterior inferior temporal cortex (ITC) are thought to play an important role in object recognition by integrating information across spatially separated functional columns, but their functional organization remains unclear. Using a combination of optical imaging, electrophysiological recording, and anatomical tracing, we investigated the relationship between stimulus-response maps and patterns of horizontal axon terminals in the macaque ITC. In contrast to the "like-to-like" connectivity observed in the early visual cortex, we found that horizontal axons in ITC do not preferentially connect sites with similar object selectivity.

Up to 40% of intracranial aneurysms arise from the anterior cerebral artery and anterior communicating artery (ACA-ACoA) complex. The vast variability of vessel anomalies and the surrounding critical structures correlate with severe morbidity and mortality rates in case of rupture. In the era of cutting-edge advantages of endovascular procedures, surgical expertise is reducing.

Successful Mechanical Thrombectomy for Bilateral Anterior Cerebral Artery Occlusions in a Rare Anatomical Variant: A Case Report.

Int Med Case Rep J

January 2025

Department of Cardiology, Rugao Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University, Rugao People's Hospital, Nantong, Jiangsu, People's Republic of China.

Background: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is usually caused by acute occlusion of the cerebral artery. Bilateral anterior cerebral arteries (ACAs) originating from the anterior communicating branch of the same internal carotid artery are a rare anatomical variation in clinical practice. Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) of simultaneous acute occlusion of the bilateral ACAs with this variation has rarely been reported.

Background And Purpose: We explored the impact of various craniotomy approaches on the outcomes and long-term cognitive function of microsurgical clipping for superiorly projecting anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysms.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 127 superiorly projected ACoA aneurysms underwent microsurgical clipping between January 2014 and January 2022. Patients were categorized into two types: type 1 (70 patients), characterized by the posterior positioning of the ipsilateral A2 segment (open A2 plane side), and type 2 (57 patients), characterized by the anterior positioning of the ipsilateral A2 segment (closed A2 plane side).

Background: The significance of tactile stimulation in human social development and personal interaction is well documented; however, the underlying cerebral processes remain under-researched. This study employed functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the neural correlates of social touch processing, with a particular focus on the functional connectivity associated with the aftereffects of touch.

Methods: A total of 27 experimental subjects were recruited for the study, all of whom underwent a 5-minute calf and foot massage prior to undergoing resting-state fMRI.
