(IF 1.9) Pub Date : 2024-02-18 Mina Lee, Eun Ji Lee, Rae On Kim, Jung-Min Pyun, Byung-Euk Joo, Kyum-Yil Kwon, Hakjae Roh, Moo-Young Ahn, Kyungbok Lee
Although the systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII) has recently been correlated with stroke severity and functional outcome, the underlying pathogenesis remains largely unknown. The objective of this study was to explore whether SII could predict early neurologic deterioration (END) in different etiologies of acute ischemic stroke. From January 2019 to December 2021, a total of 697 consecutive patients

Cognition as a parameter in monitoring the effect of multiple sclerosis relapse treatment: A prospective controlled study Clin. Neurol. Neurosurg. (IF 1.9) Pub Date : 2024-02-16 B. Piri Cinar, C. Baba, S. Demir, C. Uzunkopru, M. Seferoglu, I. Gungor Dogan, V. Cilingir, M. Acikgoz, N.G. Bulbul, A.O. Sivaci, S. Cekic, P. Yigit, S. Eroglu, Y. Beckmann, S. Ozakbas
Cognitive evaluation was considered to be very important in the relapse period, on the basis of the presence of isolated cognitive attacks and the necessity of monitoring the patient both physically and cognitively. People with MS (pwMS) who were hospitalized during relapse were included in the study. All MS patients were evaluated by the neurologist with Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), The

Comparison of outcomes with/without preoperative embolization for meningiomas with diluted N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate Clin. Neurol. Neurosurg. (IF 1.9) Pub Date : 2024-02-16 Naoki Omura, Ryo Hiramatsu, Ryokichi Yagi, Yoshiki Fujikawa, Masao Fukumura, Masahiro Kameda, Naosuke Nonoguchi, Motomasa Furuse, Shinji Kawabata, Toshihiro Takami, Hiroyuki Ohnishi, Masahiko Wanibuchi
Preoperative embolization for meningiomas is controversial regarding its effectiveness in reducing intraoperative blood loss and operative time. In contrast, some reports have documented improved surgical outcomes in large meningiomas. In this study, we retrospectively compared the outcomes of craniotomy for meningiomas with/without preoperative embolization with diluted N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA)

Ultrasonography monitoring with Superb Microvascular Imaging during cerebrovascular surgery Clin. Neurol. Neurosurg. (IF 1.9) Pub Date : 2024-02-16 Mami Ishikawa, Taku Uchiyama, Atsuya Okawa, Natsumi Soma, Masashi Ikota, Kazuyasu Aoki, Heiji Naritaka, Gen Kusaka
Ultrasonography (US) is used as a real-time dynamic imaging modality during neurosurgery. A novel Doppler US technique, Superb Microvascular Imaging (SMI), can be used to visualize low-velocity flow of small vessels at high resolution with high frame rates. We visualized vessel flow using this US SMI technique and contrast agent during cerebrovascular surgery. Forty-three patients with an unruptured

Effect of revascularization surgery on cerebral hemodynamics in adult moyamoya disease Clin. Neurol. Neurosurg. (IF 1.9) Pub Date : 2024-02-16 Koki Onodera, Hidetoshi Ooigawa, Shinya Tabata, Tatsuki Kimura, Milan Lepic, Kaima Suzuki, Hiroki Kurita
Few studies have reported local hemodynamic changes after revascularization surgery. This study aimed to identify regional hemodynamic changes after combined revascularization surgery for moyamoya disease using single-photon emission computed tomography with N-isopropyl-p-I-iodoamphetamine. A total of 46 adults with moyamoya disease who underwent combined revascularization surgery from August 2009

Endovascular treatment of acute atherothrombotic internal carotid artery occlusion associated with persistent primitive hypoglossal artery Clin. Neurol. Neurosurg. (IF 1.9) Pub Date : 2024-02-16 Tomoaki Ishizuka, Hideki Endo, Soichiro Yamaguchi, Yuma Hiratsuka, Shusaku Noro, Kohei Ishikawa, Tomoki Fuchizaki, Yasuyuki Tatsuta, Suguru Sakurai, Koichiro Shindo, Yohei Yamaguchi, Tatsuya Ogino, Kenji Kamiyama, Toshiaki Osato, Hirohiko Nakamura
Persistent primitive hypoglossal artery is a relatively rare anatomical variation and a type of persistent carotid–basilar anastomosis. Acute internal carotid artery occlusion associated with persistent primitive hypoglossal artery is rare, and atherothrombotic occlusion is extremely rare. We present a case of acute atherothrombotic internal carotid artery occlusion associated with persistent primitive

Minimizing pneumocephalus during deep brain stimulation surgery Clin. Neurol. Neurosurg. (IF 1.9) Pub Date : 2024-02-16 Daniel Y. Zhang, John J. Pearce, Edgar Petrosyan, Alireza Borghei, Richard W. Byrne, Sepehr Sani
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery is an effective treatment for movement disorders. Introduction of intracranial air following dura opening in DBS surgery can result in targeting inaccuracy and suboptimal outcomes. We develop and evaluate a simple method to minimize pneumocephalus during DBS surgery. A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data was performed on patients undergoing DBS
