White Matter Cerebrovascular Reactivity: Effects of Microangiopathy and Proximal Occlusions on the Dynamic BOLD Response
CONCLUSION: Our results suggest additive effects of microvascular and macrovascular disease upon white matter CVR, but with greater overall effects relating to macrovascular SOD than to apparent microangiopathy. Dynamic ACZ-BOLD presents a promising path towards a quantitative stroke risk imaging biomarker.BACKGROUND: Cerebral white matter (WM) microangiopathy manifests as sporadic or sometimes confluent high intensity lesions in MR imaging with T2-weighting, and bears known associations with stroke, cognitive disability, depression and other neurological disorders 1-5 . Deep white matter is particularly susceptible to isc...

Intravitreal acetazolamide implant for pseudophakic cystoid macular edema
ConclusionWe show that PCME refractory to conventional treatment improved after intravitreal acetazolamide implant injection. Further investigation is warranted to confirm these preliminary findings. (Source: Documenta Ophthalmologica)

Acetazolamide responsive early-onset absence epilepsy and ataxia in a toddler with a KCNA2 genetic variant; a case report
Genetic variants in KCNA2 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 2) have been associated with a spectrum of symptoms such as epileptic encephalopathy, myoclonic seizures, intellectual disability, and cerebellar ataxia [1,2]. Individuals with KCNA2 gain-of-function genetic variants could benefit from tailored-treatment regimens [1,3]. Here, we report a 2-year-old boy with early-onset drug refractory absence seizures and gait ataxia. The clinical exome sequencing revealed a gain-of-function genetic variant in the KCNA2 gene.

ASL-MRI-guided evaluation of multiple burr hole revascularization surgery in Moyamoya disease
ConclusionUsing ASL-MRI we followed changes in CBF and CVR in patients with MM. The technique was encouraging for assessments before and after revascularization surgery. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)
