Safety and Efficacy of Induced Hypertension and Hypervolemia in Preventing Neurologic Complications After Combined Direct and Indirect Bypass in Hemorrhagic-Onset Moyamoya Disease.

Background: Perioperative management of blood pressure in patients undergoing surgical revascularization for moyamoya disease (MMD) remains a controversial topic. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of induced hypertension and hypervolemia (IHH) in preventing neurologic complications during the perioperative period after direct surgical revascularization in a large hemorrhagic-onset moyamoya disease (HOMMD) cohort.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed a prospectively managed departmental database of all HOMMD patients treated between 1987 and 2019.

Basal ganglia cavernous malformations: case series and systematic review of surgical management and long-term outcomes.

Objective: Reports on basal ganglia cavernous malformations (BGCMs) are rare. Here, the authors report on their experience in resecting these malformations to offer insight into this infrequent disease subtype.

Methods: The authors retrospectively reviewed a prospectively managed departmental database of all deep-seated cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) treated at Stanford between 1987 and 2019 and included for further analysis those with a radiographic diagnosis of BGCM.
