Background And Objectives: Transient neurological deficits (TNDs) in patients with chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH), such as fluctuating aphasia, hemiparesis, or sensory disturbances, present diagnostic and treatment challenges as their pathophysiology remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between specific MRI findings and TNDs in patients with CSDH and explored their relationship through intraoperative observation.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 72 patients with CSDH who underwent preoperative MRI among 251 CSDH patients treated from January 2020 to December 2023.

As speech-related symptoms of Landau-Kleffner syndrome (LKS) are often refractory to pharmacotherapy, and resective surgery is rarely available due to the involvement of the vital cortex, multiple subpial transection (MST) was suggested to improve patient outcome and preserve cortical functions. Here, we analyze the reports about MST use in LKS, regarding its impact on seizures, language, behavior, EEG, cognition, and reported adverse effects. In conditions like LKS, surgery is not a popular treatment option and presumably should be considered sooner.

Objectives: Vascular Eagle syndrome (ES) is a rare condition involving vessel compression by an elongated styloid process, leading to neurologic symptoms. Here, we present the case of a patient with a complication of carotid artery stenting for vascular ES and discuss the implications of treatment of this rare condition.

Case Description: A 35-year-old previously healthy male patient presented with transient aphasia and right-sided hemiparesis following ischemic stroke in left frontal lobe.

Clinical Reasoning: A 70-Year-Old Man With Systemic Illness Related Strokes Refractory to Medical Treatment Managed With Intracranial Stent.

From the Department of Medicine (L.P., V.B., M.C.F.S., R.F.), Pathology and Laboratory Medicine (J.P.M.), Division of Neurosurgery (B.D.), and Department of Radiology (INR and DNR) (B.D., R.F.), The Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

We present the case of a 70-year-old man with a history of embolic stroke, atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis, and polymyalgia rheumatica who presented as a stroke code with transient right-sided focal neurologic deficits (motor and sensory), mild alteration in consciousness, and mild aphasia. His cerebrovascular imaging revealed new multifocal intracranial stenoses. Despite best medical management, this patient continued to have recurrent symptomatic cerebrovascular events.

Background: Carotid webs are a potential cause of occult cerebral infarction. Although they occur frequently, proper diagnosis and treatment are crucial; surgery has been shown to provide a good outcome. Although thrombus on the carotid web have been reported, digital subtraction angiography (DSA)-confirmed cases of pre-dispersed thrombus are rare.
