Dural venous sinus stenting in idiopathic intracranial hypertension: let’s try to understand something more

Posted on by Francesco Diana

Key point: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), also known as pseudotumor cerebri, is a syndrome characterized by increased intracranial pressure, with non-specific neurological symptoms and a normal neuroimaging, except for findings occurring with chronic increased intracranial pressure of any cause. Diagnostic criteria have been identified by Dandy and Smith. IIH occurs with a frequency of about 1 Read more about Dural venous sinus stenting in idiopathic intracranial hypertension: let’s try to understand something more[…]

The future of neurosurgery

Posted on by Francesco Diana

When the news got out that Edison was developing the first practical electric light bulb, not everyone was impressed. A British Parliament Committee noted that Edison’s light bulb was “unworthy of the attention of practical or scientific men” and a chief engineer for the British Post Office said that the “subdivision of the electric light is an Read more about The future of neurosurgery[…]

Collateral leptomeningeal arteries: where are the anastomosis?

Posted on by Francesco Diana

Key point: More than 300 years ago, Willis T. characterized the arterial ring at the base of the brain and began debate concerning whether the circle functions primarily as a flow equalizer or as an anastomosis. Heubner O., in 1874, was the first to produce a well-documented study demonstrating the existence of LMA; he was trying to Read more about Collateral leptomeningeal arteries: where are the anastomosis?[…]

The Role of Catheter Angiography in the Diagnosis of Central Nervous System Vasculitis

Posted on by Francesco Diana

Key points: The role of angiography in the diagnosis of primary central nervous system vasculitis (PCNSV) emerged in the mid-1960, when were recognized recurring but not specific angiographic pattens in the inflammatory conditions of the CNS. However the comprehension of the role of DSA in this cases was made difficult by the lack of a Read more about The Role of Catheter Angiography in the Diagnosis of Central Nervous System Vasculitis[…]

Intracranial Vessel Wall MRI: Principles and Expert Consensus Recommendations of the American Society of Neuroradiology

Posted on by Francesco Diana

Key points: Conventional techniques for imaging the intracranial arteries can fail to fully characterize disease that resides within the vessel wall. For this reason, there is growing interest in direct visualization of the vessel wall with high-resolution intracranial vessel wall MR imaging (VW-MR imaging). The principal technical requirements for intracranial VW-MR imaging are the following: Clinical Read more about Intracranial Vessel Wall MRI: Principles and Expert Consensus Recommendations of the American Society of Neuroradiology[…]
