Background And Purpose: Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is the standard for acute ischemic stroke from large vessel occlusion, but post-EVT functional independence varies. Brain atrophy, linked to higher cerebrospinal fluid volume (CSFV), may affect outcomes. Baseline CSFV could predict EVT benefit by assessing brain health.

Objective: The goal of a decompressive craniectomy (DC) or a hinge craniotomy (HC), is to treat intracranial hypertension and reduce mortality. Traditionally, the decompression procedure has been performed with cranial bone removal. However, decompression and repositioning the cranial bone, named HC, has been presented as an alternative for certain cases.

Objective: This randomized controlled trial (RCT) aimed to compare the short-, mid-, and long-term outcomes in patients with malignant intracranial hypertension undergoing either decompressive craniectomy (DC) or hinge craniotomy (HC).
Methods: In this prospective RCT, 38 patients diagnosed with malignant intracranial hypertension due to ischemic infarction, traumatic brain injury, or non-lesional spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, who required cranial decompression, were randomly allocated to the DC and HC groups.
Results: The need for reoperation, particularly cranioplasty, in the DC group was significantly different from that in the HC group.

We discuss a case of a 19-year-old female who presented with pressure headaches and progressive vision loss. In the emergency department, a series of diagnostic tests were conducted, including CT, MRI, and lumbar puncture with measurement of opening pressure. All these examinations yielded results consistent with the suspected diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).

Background: There are sex disparities in the risk of ruptured intracranial aneurysm (IA), but which sex-specific factors are related to ruptured IA remains inconclusive.
Methods: Data from electronic medical records from two tertiary hospitals, collected between January 2012 and December 2019, were analyzed for this study. All IAs were confirmed by computed tomographic angiography or digital subtraction angiography.
