Published: November 2024

The internal carotid artery occlusion caused by head and neck trauma, also known as traumatic intracranial artery occlusion, is relatively rare clinically. Traumatic skull base fracture is a common complication of traumatic brain injury. Traumatic skull base fracture is one of the causes of traumatic internal carotid artery occlusion. If not detected early and treated in time, the prognosis of patients is poor. This editorial makes a relevant analysis of this disease.

Bridging thrombolysis versus direct endovascular treatment in acute vertebrobasilar artery complex occlusion.

J Neurosurg

January 2025

1Department of Neurology, Centre for Leading Medicine and Advanced Technologies of IHM, The First Affiliated Hospital of USTC, Division of Life Sciences and Medicine, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, Anhui.

Objective: Endovascular treatment (EVT) is an effective treatment for patients with acute vertebrobasilar artery complex occlusion (VBAO). However, the benefit of bridging thrombolysis prior to EVT remains controversial. The purpose of the present study is to explore the best treatment strategy between bridging treatment (BT) and direct EVT in patients with acute VBAO.

Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic effects of Kuanxiong Aerosol (KXA) on ischemic stroke with reperfusion and elucidate the underlying pharmacological mechanisms.

Methods: In vivo pharmacological effects on ischemic stroke with reperfusion was evaluated using the transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (t-MCAO) mice model. To evaluate short-term outcome, 30 mice were randomly divided into vehicle group (n=15) and KXA group (n=15).

Performance: Spontaneous dissections of the cerebral arteries are among the leading causes of stroke in young adults. They result from hemorrhage into the outer layers of the arterial wall, which can lead to stenosis or even complete vessel occlusion. Clinical presentations vary, ranging from localized pain to cerebral ischemic complications.
