Blunt carotid artery injury can lead to impaired brain perfusion due to ischemic stroke and thromboembolic events. To reduce the risk of potential neurological complications, it is critical to determine the diagnosis and management protocol as quickly as possible after a detailed clinical examination. This report presents successful surgical treatment of a young male patient who developed a traumatic left common carotid artery thrombosis after a motor vehicle accident.

Early neurological deterioration in acute ischemic minor stroke patients with large vessel occlusion following intravenous thrombolysis.

Department of Neurology, Nanjing Pukou People's Hospital, No. 166 Shanghe Street, Jiangpu Subdistrict, Pukou District, Nanjing, 210000, China. Electronic address:

Objective: Early identification of risk factors associated with early neurological deterioration (END) in patients with acute minor stroke and large vessel occlusion (LVO) receiving intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) could assist in formulating treatment decisions.

Methods: Consecutive patients with acute minor stroke and LVO were extracted from a single-center prospective database spanning January 2020 to December 2023. END was defined as an increase of ≥ 4 points in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score from baseline, or ≥ 2 points in any single NIHSS item, within 24 hours of the IVT.

Background: Identifying spontaneous circulation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is challenging. Current methods, which involve intermittent and time-consuming pulse checks, necessitate pauses in chest compressions. This issue is problematic in both in-hospital cardiac arrest and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest situations, where resources for identifying circulation during CPR may be limited.

Background: Neovascularisation of carotid plaques contributes to their vulnerability. Current imaging methods such as contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) usually lack the required spatial resolution and quantification capability for precise neovessels identification. We aimed at quantifying plaque vascularisation with ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) and compared the results to histological analysis.

Objective: In recent years, the application of robotic assistance in diagnostic and therapeutic endovascular neurointerventional procedures has gained notable attention. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aim to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and current indications of robotic-assisted neurointerventions and to assess the degree of robotic assistance and reasons for unplanned manual conversion from robotic assistance.

Methods: We searched Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases following PRISMA guidelines and included studies with ≥ 4 patients reporting on robotic-assisted neurointerventions.

Purpose: To describe a case in which a right replaced posterior cerebral artery (PCA) was associated with an ipsilateral superior cerebellar artery (SCA) type persistent trigeminal artery (PTA) variant.

Methods: A 53-year-old man who had been diagnosed with chronic dissection of the left vertebral artery (VA) 4 months previously underwent follow-up magnetic resonance (MR) angiography using a 3-Tesla scanner.

Results: MR angiography showed a slightly dilated left VA at the terminal segment without interval change.
