Stereotactic Catheter Ventriculocisternostomy for Clearance of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—STX-VCS was feasible and safe in patients with severe aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Initial results indicate that DCI and mortality can be reduced, and neurological outcome may be improved with this method.

A New Angiographic Collateral Grading System for Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion Treated with Endovascular Therapy
AbstractPoor clinical outcomes despite endovascular therapy (EVT) are common in patients with acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO). We aimed to develop a new angiographic collateral grading system for predicting 90-day functional outcomes of acute BAO after EVT. A prospectively registered consecutive cohort of acute BAO patients treated with EVT in our center during a 6-year period was reviewed. The angiographic collateral grading system for BAO (ACGS-BAO) included 4 grades for poor (grade 1 –2), intermediate (grade 3), and good (grade 4) collateral statuses. First, the independent association of ACGS-BAO with 90-day fun...

Understanding Delays in MRI-based Selection of Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke Patients for Endovascular Thrombectomy
ConclusionMinimizing arrival-to-puncture time is important for outcomes. Real-world challenges exist in an MRI-based EVT selection protocol; avoiding double imaging is key to saving time. Racial/ethnic disparities require further study. Understanding variables associated with delay will inform protocol changes.

Recanalization is the Key for Better Outcome of Thrombectomy in Basilar Artery Occlusion
ConclusionReperfusion is the major predictor of functional outcome in BAO in clinical practice. Failed recanalization resulted in a  13-fold increase of the risk of poor outcome. Successful recanalization is crucial to achieve a better functional outcome in BAO.

The clinical and cognitive spectrum of locked-in syndrome: 1-year follow-up of 100 patients
AbstractIn patients with locked-in syndrome (LIS), it is not known exactly to what extent cognitive functions are preserved and it is not known exactly how much it has improved. We aimed to examine the clinical and cognitive features of LIS 1 year after stroke. One hundred patients with locked-in syndrome (LIS) were recruited between January 2008 and May 2019 among 8200 patients with ischemic stroke. Patients were classified into two groups as single pontine infarcts (n = 72), and pontine plus multiple ischemic lesions (PMIL) (n = 28). Since the patients had limited motor and verbal response, the cognitive status o...

Diffuse cerebral petechial hemorrhage in an 8-year-old girl with MRSA pneumonia and sepsis
An 8-year-old girl in septic shock due to necrotizing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) pneumonia developed signs of end-organ damage, new right hemiplegia, and left gaze preference. Susceptibility-weighted MRI demonstrated extensive multifocal petechial hemorrhage preferentially at the gray–white matter interface due to septic microemboli (figure). Mechanisms of hemorrhage include small-vessel occlusion leading to mycotic aneurysm formation with rupture or pyogenic arteritis without aneurysm formation.1 Intracranial hemorrhage associated with metastatic staphylococcal infections is rarely descr...

Preexisting cognitive impairment in intracerebral hemorrhage
ConclusionsIn conclusion, cognitive impairment frequently precedes ICH. A higher frequency of cerebrovascular events suggests a role of vascular processes in the development of cognitive impairment before ICH.

Mechanical thrombectomy in acute middle cerebral artery M2 segment occlusion with regard to vessel involvement
ConclusionEVT in patients with acute M2-occlusion is safe and leads to a significant clinical improvement at discharge. No significant differences in clinical outcome or complications were found with regard to the localization of the M2-occlusion.

Outcome of MRSA carriers in neurological early rehabilitation
Background: Colonization with MRSA is believed to have deteriorating effects on neurological rehabilitation patients because MRSA carriers need to be isolated. Methods: Medical records of neurological early rehabilitation patients (most of them after stroke) admitted to a large rehabilitation facility in Northern Germany in 2010 have been carefully reviewed with respect to MRSA status, outcome variables (functional independence), morbidity, and length of stay (LOS). Results: 74/569 (13.0%) patients were MRSA positive on admission. MRSA carriers had a significantly longer LOS in early neurological rehabilitation (63.7 (37.1...

Nuclear factor-¿B activation in perihematomal brain tissue correlates with outcome in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage
Background: Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) plays an important role in the inflammatory response after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We therefore proposed that NF-κB activation in perihematomal brain tissue might correlate with clinical outcome in patients with ICH. To confirm this, we studied clinical data of 45 patients with ICH and NF-κB activation in perihematomal brain tissue and analyzed predictors of clinical outcome as well as the predictive value of NF-κB activation. Methods: Forty-five patients with spontaneous basal ganglia hemorrhage were prospectively investigated. The clinical data were collected, which incl...

Severe Cerebral Venous and Sinus Thrombosis: Clinical Course, Imaging Correlates, and Prognosis
Conclusion The outcome of severe CVT is almost equally divided between severe impairment or death and survival with no or only mild handicap. Specifically, space-occupying mass effect and associated neurologic deterioration seem to determine a poor outcome. Therefore, early detection and treatment of mass effect should be the focus of critical care.

Elevated Red Cell Distribution Width is Associated with Cerebral Infarction in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
ConclusionsRDW elevation is associated with cerebral infarction and poor outcome after aSAH. Further evaluation of this association is warranted as it may shed light on mechanistic relations between anemia, inflammation, and thrombosis after aSAH.

Clinical and radiological characteristics and predictors of outcome of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, a hospital-based study
AbstractCerebral venous sinus thrombosis is an uncommon cause of stroke, which is more prevalent in Iran and the Middle East. We aimed to assess the etiology, radiologic, and clinical manifestations of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, specifically the predictors of patients ’ outcome in Namazi hospital, Shiraz, Iran. In this retrospective study, we included all adult patients with the diagnosis of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, who were admitted in hospital, from 2012 to 2016. Demographic data, radiologic findings, clinical presentation, risk factors, treatment, a nd outcome according to modified Rankin Scale (mRS) o...
