The effect of anesthesia on hemodynamics and outcome of patients undergoing thrombectomy after acute ischemic stroke: a retrospective analysis
ConclusionPatients who are hypotensive at any given time during thrombectomy under general anesthesia may have worse neurological outcome compared to non-hypotensive patients. The best anaesthetic management for mechanical thrombectomy needs to be clarified prospectively in large multicenter studies. (Source: Acta Neurologica Belgica)

Endovascular treatment of patients with stroke caused by anterior cerebral artery occlusions
ConclusionIn this cohort ACA occlusions were uncommon. Functional outcome did not differ between patients with ACA occlusions and ICA/MCA occlusions. Prospective research is needed to determine feasibility, safety, and outcomes of EVT for ACA occlusions. (Source: Acta Neurologica Belgica)

Syndrome of the third frontal convolution: L éon Ectors´ legacy on paradoxical ipsilateral hemiparesis
AbstractSince the crossed control of sensitive-motor body functions by the contralateral cerebral hemispheres was recognized in the early 18th century, clinicians have been baffled by patients developing a motor deficit involving the extremities on the same side as an intracranial lesion. In the first third of the 20th century, three main hypotheses were proposed to explain this so-called ipsilateral or paradoxical hemiparesis: (1) the absence of decussation of the corticospinal tracts; (2) diaschisis, or blocking of the normal input to a brain region anatomically distant from the injured site; and (3) compression of the c...

A new insight into the role of pericytes in ischemic stroke
AbstractThe functional structure of the blood –brain barrier (BBB) deteriorates after stroke by developing diffuse microvascular and neurovascular dysfunction and loss of white matter integrity. This causes nervous tissue injury and causes sensory and motor disabilities in stroke patients. Improving the integrity of the BBB and neurovascular remodeling after stroke can promote post-stroke injury conditions. Pericytes are contractile cells abundant in the BBB and sandwiched between astrocytes and endothelial cells of the microvessels. Stroke could lead to the degeneration of pericytes in the BBB. However, recent evidence ...
