Background: This report aims to describe the neuromodulation effect on seizure control in a patient with a left hippocampal migrated electrode to the Posterior Sylvian Junction (PSJ) during a follow-up of 17 years.
Case Description: We report a case of a female patient with drug-resistant epilepsy who initiated at seven years old and underwent a stereotactic frame-based insertion of a left hippocampal electrode for deep brain stimulation (DBS). Posterior migration of the electrode was identified at PSJ by postoperative magnetic resonance imaging one month after surgery. A consistent seizure reduction (Engel IC) was obtained with 2v-120 uS-145 Hz, contacts 0-3 negative, casing positive DBS parameters and maintained to this day. Patient data were collected from electronic medical records preceded by obtaining an informed consent for research and publication purposes. Stimulation parameter adjustments were confirmed with the digital records of the local device provider (Medtronic).
Results: PSJ is a connectivity confluence point of white matter pathways in the posterior quadrant of the hemispheres. White mater DBS could be considered for research as a potential complementary target for neuromodulation of refractory epilepsy.

MRI markers of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus in a population study with 791 participants: Exploring reference values and associations.
Neuroradiol J
December 2024
Hydrocephalus Research Unit, Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Institute of Neuroscience and Physiology, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Sweden.
Purpose: Epidemiological studies on idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) imaging markers and their normal values are scarce. This population-based study aimed to analyze several morphologic and volumetric iNPH-related imaging markers in a large sample, determining their distribution, diagnostic accuracy, suggested cut-offs, and associations with iNPH symptoms.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 791 70 year olds, 40 with radiologically probable iNPH (iNPH) and 751 without iNPH features (reference).
Exoscopic Clipping of a Ruptured Posterior Communicating Artery Aneurysm Through a Minipterional Approach: 2-Dimensional Operative Video.

Article Synopsis
- Posterior communicating artery (PCoA) aneurysms account for about 15-25% of intracranial aneurysms and come with a 44% rupture risk, complicating surgical procedures due to limited visibility.
- A case is presented involving a 54-year-old woman who experienced severe headaches, vomiting, and a loss of consciousness, leading to a diagnosis of a PCoA aneurysm via imaging after a subarachnoid hemorrhage.
- She successfully underwent a right minipterional craniotomy with exoscopic clipping, which provided high-quality images and improved ergonomics during surgery, resulting in her significant recovery within three days post-operation.
Evaluation of Anterior and Middle Brain Structures With Cerebrovascular Flow in Fetuses With Fetal Growth Restriction: A Prospective Study.

Perinatology Department Ankara, Ministry of Health, Etlik City Hospital, Ankara, Turkey.
Objective: To investigate the adaptation of the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) in fetuses with fetal growth restriction (FGR) and assess if forebrain and midbrain structures are affected by vascular adaptations.
Methods: A prospective case-control study involving normally developed fetuses and those with late-onset FGR (estimated fetal weight < 3rd percentile and/or abdominal circumference < 3rd percentile). Doppler indices of the middle cerebral artery (MCA), ACA and umbilical artery (UA) were determined between 32 + 0 and 37 + 0 weeks.

Most anatomic features of the internal carotid artery (ICA) are described as a straight course to the skull base free of branches. In some cases, the excessive elongation of the internal carotid artery in a confined space results in a curvature showing a "C" or "S" shape, or in an abnormal vascular shape made of a single or double vessel loop. These anatomic variants are called dolichoarteriopathies of the internal carotid artery.
