Intracerebral hemorrhage: the next frontier for minimally invasive stroke treatment
Great technical, scientific, and clinical advances have been made in the treatment of both emergent large vessel occlusions (ELVOs) and cerebral aneurysms. However, little progress has been made in the management of patients with primary intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)—the leading cause of hemorrhagic stroke.1 ICH accounts for 10–15% of all strokes and is associated with the highest rates of morbidity and mortality of all stroke subtypes.1 2 Almost half of afflicted patients do not survive and only 20% of survivors are independent at 180 days.3 4 No medical interventions, with the exception of blood pressur...

Incidence and impact of stroke following surgery for low-grade gliomas.
CONCLUSIONS: Recurrent surgeries and insular tumor locations are risk factors for intraoperative strokes. Although they do not affect survival, these strokes negatively affect patient activity and performance status, mainly during the first 3 postoperative months, with gradual functional improvement over 1 year. Several intraoperative parameters may suggest the impending development of an infarct. PMID: 31881532 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The Kempe incision for decompressive craniectomy, craniotomy, and cranioplasty in traumatic brain injury and stroke
CONCLUSIONS: The Kempe incision for craniectomy or craniotomy is a safe, feasible, and effective alternative to the RQM. The authors advocate the Kempe incision in cases in which contralateral operative pathology or subsequent craniofacial/skull base repair is anticipated.PMID:34020415 | DOI:10.3171/2020.11.JNS203567

The Brain Relaxation and Cerebral Metabolism in Stroke Volume Variation–directed Fluid Therapy During Supratentorial Tumors Resection: Crystalloid Solution Versus Colloid Solution
Background:Compared with goal-directed crystalloid therapy, goal-directed colloid therapy during high-risk surgery may improve postoperative outcome. Whether intraoperative fluid therapy based on goal-directed protocol with different types of fluid has distinctive effects on brain relaxation and cerebral metabolism during craniotomy remains unclear. Methods:Forty patients with supratentorial brain tumors undergoing craniotomy were randomly assigned to either a Ringer’s Lactate-based goal-directed group (LR group, n=20) or a 6% hydroxyethyl starch–based goal-directed group (HES group, n=20). The goal was achieved by mai...

The Prevalence and Impact of Mortality of the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome on Admissions of Patients With Ischemic Stroke in the United States
Conclusion: Our analysis demonstrates that ARDS is rare after AIS. Despite an overall significant reduction in mortality after AIS, ARDS carries a higher risk of death in this patient population.

Is Prophylactic Anticoagulation for Deep Venous Thrombosis Common Practice After Intracerebral Hemorrhage? Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Less than 20% of patients with ICH receive anticoagulation for deep venous thrombosis in the United States. When used, the time to initiation is <2 days in less than half of the patients. Further study should focus on understanding variations in practice and emphasize guideline-driven care.

Prophylactic Antiepileptic Drug Use and Outcome in the Ethnic/Racial Variations of Intracerebral Hemorrhage Study Brief Reports
Conclusions— We found no evidence that AED use (predominantly levetiracetam) is independently associated with poor outcome. A prospective study is required to assess for a more modest effect of AED use on outcome after ICH.

Stroke and Craniectomy
AbstractNeurosurgical involvement in the care of major stroke complications has yielded striking results in the subtentorial region but equivocal outcomes in the supratentorial compartment. Most neurosurgeons want to see some degree of deterioration before proceeding; thus, timing will be debated. Viewpoints have changed over the years regarding surgical or medical intervention, but in many patients the procedure has not produced a definitive change in outcome other than preventing death from terminal brainstem shift. The introduction of craniectomy (and craniotomy) to treat swollen ischemic brain or intracranial hemorrhag...

Simultaneous Acute Pulmonary Thromboembolism and Stroke & #8211; A Management Dilemma
We report the case of a 52-year-old man with concurrent massive right middle cerebral artery AIS and acute PTE, who was successfully managed despite the contradictory guidelines to manage them simultaneously. The patient underwent decompression craniotomy followed by anticoagulant therapy. The current case report demonstrates that full-dose heparin, despite being relatively contraindicated in an AIS, can achieve a good outcome when given under close monitoring. The transesophageal echo with bubble contrast during the Valsalva maneuver demonstrated patent foramen ovale with a right to left shunt as a cause of AIS and PTE in this patient.
