Diffusion-Restricted Lesions of the Splenium: Clinical Presentation, Radiographic Patterns, and Patient Outcomes
Discussion
Vascular DR lesions of the splenium were more common than CLOCCs and other etiologies in this cohort. While splenial DR lesions can present a clinical challenge, their associated clinical and radiographic characteristics may predict outcome and guide prognosis.

A brain CT-based approach for predicting and analyzing stroke-associated pneumonia from intracerebral hemorrhage
DiscussionOur findings suggest that our method is effective in classifying the development of pneumonia based on brain CT scans. Furthermore, we identified distinct characteristics, such as volume and distribution, of ICH in four different types of SAP.

Minimally Invasive Intracerebral Hemorrhage Evacuation Improves Pericavity Cerebral Blood Volume
This study aims to quantify blood volume changes in the perihematomal parenchyma and pericavity parenchyma after minimally invasive intracerebral hemorrhage evacuation (MIS for ICH). Thirty-two patients underwent MIS for ICH with pre- and post-operative CT imaging and intraoperative perfusion imaging (DynaCT PBV Neuro, Artis Q, Siemens). The pre-operative and post-operative CT scans were segmented using ITK-SNAP software to calculate hematoma volumes and to delineate the pericavity tissue. Helical CT segmentations were registered to cone beam CT data using elastix software. Mean blood volumes were computed inside subvolume...

Cerebellar Superficial Siderosis in Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy on 1.5T T2*-Weighted Imaging
Conclusions: Cerebellar SS in CAA patients can be identified on 1.5T T2*-weighted imaging. Associated MRI characteristics suggest contamination from supratentorial macrobleeds.Cerebrovasc Dis

Computed Tomography of the Head
AbstractIn 1971, the first computed tomography (CT) scan was performed on a patient’s brain. Clinical CT systems were introduced in 1974 and dedicated to head imaging only. New technological developments, broader availability, and the clinical success of CT led to a steady growth in examination numbers. Most frequent indications for non-contrast CT (NCCT) of the head i nclude the assessment of ischemia and stroke, intracranial hemorrhage and trauma, while CT angiography (CTA) has become the standard for first-line cerebrovascular evaluation; however, resulting improvements in patient management and clinical outcomes c...

Automated quantification of atrophy and acute ischemic volume for outcome prediction in endovascular thrombectomy
ConclusionCombinations of automated software-based imaging analysis and clinical data can be useful for predicting short-term neurological outcome and may improve long-term prognostication in EVT. These results provide a basis for future development of predictive tools built into decision-aiding software in stroke.

The impact of COVID-19 pandemic on treatment delay and short-term neurological functional prognosis for acute ischemic stroke during the lockdown period
ConclusionThe COVID-19 pandemic has had remarkable impacts on the management of AIS. The pandemic might exacerbate certain time delays and play a significant role in early adverse outcomes in patients with AIS.

Identification of magnetic resonance imaging features for the prediction of unrecognized atrial fibrillation in acute ischemic stroke
Conclusion
Initial MRI at the time of stroke may be useful to predict which patients have cardioembolic stroke caused by unrecognized AF. Further studies are warranted to verify these findings and their application to high-risk patients.

An unusual neurological presentation in a patient with primary hypereosinophilic syndrome
Hypereosinophilic syndromes are characterized by an increased number of blood eosinophils (usually more than 1.5 × 109) infiltrating tissues and causing organ damage through over-production of pro-inflammatory cytokines with heterogeneous clinical presentation. Here we present a case of a 47 years old male, with an unremarkable previous medical history, with a sudden onset of subungual hemorrhage and low b ack pain. Admitted for right arm weakness and vomiting, was raised the suspicion of acute cerebrovascular syndrome, but a brain CT scan with angiogram and perfusion sequences did not show any signs of early ischaemic...

A Novel Dual-Energy CT Method for Detection and Differentiation of Intracerebral Hemorrhage From Contrast Extravasation in Stroke Patients After Endovascular Thrombectomy
ConclusionTwinSpiral DECT demonstrates high accuracy and excellent specificity for differentiating ICH from CS in patients after mechanical thrombectomy due to acute ischemic stroke, and improves inter-reader agreement for detecting ICH compared to the standard mixed images.

ASPECT Score and Its Application to Vasospasm in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Haemorrhage: a Case –Control Study
AbstractDelayed cerebral ischaemia (DCI) is a significant complication of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) and is strongly associated with poorer outcome. The Alberta Stroke Program Early Computer Tomography (ASPECT) score is an established scoring tool, used in acute ischaemic stroke, to quantify early ischaemic changes on CT head scans. We aim to identify if ASPECT scoring correlates with functional outcome in DCI following aSAH. Retrospective case –control study. Inclusion criteria: admission to the Department of Neurosurgery at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (a tertiary neurosurgical centre in the Unite...

Infratentorial developmental venous anomaly concurrent with a cavernoma and dural arteriovenous fistula
A 32-year-old woman underwent a head computed tomography scan after a traffic accident. A calcification in the left cerebellar hemisphere was disclosed. She did not complain of any symptoms, but neurological examination revealed cerebellar ataxia. She did not have any preceding episodes since birth, such as acute-onset headache. Magnetic resonance imaging showed past hemorrhage of the calcification lesion suggestive of a cerebellar cavernoma. A dilated vascular structure was also observed (Fig. 1A, B).
