Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (HPS) is a rare complication of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and stenting. There are only a few case reports about HPS after intracranial stenting, and its clinical course remains unclear. We report an unusual case of HPS after intracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) stenting. An 87-year-old woman underwent uneventful balloon angioplasty for the right intracranial ICA one year ago; then she presented with restenosis at the same arterial location. She then underwent an ICA stent placement procedure. Preoperative cerebral blood flow (CBF) studies revealed hemodynamic ischemia. At the time of surgery, the stenotic lesion was near-occlusion. Twelve hours after the successful stenting procedure, the patient became restless, and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) indicated a blood flow increase to the affected side. Arterial spin labeling (ASL) imaging performed on the same day showed high signal intensity only in the right hemisphere. She was treated with sedation, blood pressure control, and minocycline hydrochloride administration. Because of the strict management under continuous monitoring with NIRS, her symptoms gradually improved over the next 6 days. The right-to-left difference observed with ASL imaging resolved 6 days after surgery, and she was discharged with no neurological deficit. This case highlights the utility of NIRS monitoring in the management of HPS after intracranial stenting.

Background: Hyperperfusion syndrome (HPS) is one of the most serious complications after carotid artery stenting (CAS). Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is a noninvasive method for assessing cerebral perfusion. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of ASL compared to that of SPECT in evaluating changes in intracranial blood flow during the perioperative period of CAS.

Pencil-beam presaturation (BeamSAT) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) produces selective magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) images of specific arteries, including the unilateral internal carotid artery (ICA-selective MRA) or vertebral artery (VA-selective MRA). We evaluate the influence of flow pattern, visualized using BeamSAT MRI, on preoperative cerebral hemodynamic status and postoperative hyperperfusion syndrome (HPS). Patients undergoing carotid artery stenting or carotid endarterectomy were categorized into two groups to evaluate flow pattern.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), also known as hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS), is a benign histiocytosis with hyperreactive proliferation of the mononuclear phagocyte system caused by immune function abnormalities, which often occurs under the background of genetic mutations, inflammation, infection or tumors. Because the research on malignancy-associated HLH (M-HLH) is focused on hematological malignancies, reports on HLH secondary to solid tumors are rare. In this case, we report a 14-year-old girl who developed HLH during treatment for intracranial multifocal germinoma, and the disease was controlled after hormone combined with etoposide(VP-16) and other related treatments.

Background: Clinically, Carbapenem-resistant (CRPA) meningitis is extremely difficult to cure and has a high mortality rate. Intrathecal injection of polymyxins B is suggested to be an effective anti-infective means to treat intracranial infection with CRPA. However, due to the potential drug toxicity of polymyxin B in children, this regimen has rarely been reported in pediatrics.

Background: Hyperperfusion syndrome (HPS) is a serious complication after stent implantation in symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS). This study aims to explore the predictive value of preprocedural computed tomography perfusion (CTP) for HPS after intracranial stenting.
Methods: In this retrospective case-control study we collected data from consecutive patients from June 2012 to September 2019 who underwent stent implantation due to severe symptomatic ICAS.
