Vertebral artery dissection after a chiropractor neck manipulation.
This report illustrates the potential hazards associated with neck trauma, including chiropractic manipulation. The vertebral arteries are at risk for aneurysm formation and/or dissection, which can cause acute stroke. PMID: 25552813 [PubMed]

Dynamic State of Water Molecular Displacement of the Brain during the Cardiac Cycle in Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) has been characterized as a chronic communicating hydrocephalus in elderly patients with the clinical triad gait disturbance, dementia, and incontinence [1–3]. The clinical symptoms of both secondary and idiopathic NPH (iNPH) can be reversed by the removal of the accumulated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) [3]. Secondary NPH can result in subarachnoid hemorrhage, trauma, and stroke. Although numerous investigations have attempted to clarify the underlying mechanism of and to diagnose iNPH, its exact causes remain poorly understood.

Teaching NeuroImages: Cortical blindness following acute obstructive hydrocephalus by a colloid cyst
A 46-year-old woman was admitted for acute headache, postseizure confusion, and visual loss. Urgent head CT scan showed obstructive hydrocephalus due to a colloid cyst (figure 1). External ventricular drains inserted emergently demonstrated CSF under pressure, above 40 mm H2O. MRI confirmed the suspected diagnosis of a colloid cyst and highlighted bilateral occipital lobe infarcts (figure 2). CT angiography showed no thrombosis of the posterior cerebral arteries (PCAs). After neurosurgical excision of the colloid cyst, the patient remained blind. The presumed mechanism of infarction was acute compression of the PCAs agains...

Pipeline Embolization Device as primary treatment for blister aneurysms and iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms of the internal carotid artery
Conclusions The PED should be used selectively in the setting of acute SAH. Dual antiplatelet therapy can complicate hydrocephalus management, and the lack of immediate aneurysm occlusion creates the risk of short-term re-rupture. PED treatment for iatrogenic ICA pseudoaneurysms can provide a good angiographic and neurological outcome.

Warfarin and Antiplatelet Medication Use Are Independently Associated with Poor Functional Outcomes Following Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage (P3.096)
Conclusion: Warfarin use is associated with a higher incidence of hydrocephalus, IVH and hematoma expansion, but lesser relative edema volume. While both warfarin and antiplatelet use are independently associated with worse functional outcomes, only warfarin use correlates with higher mortality.Disclosure: Dr. Murthy has nothing to disclose.

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage as the Initial Neurologic Manifestation in Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (P6.014)
Conclusion: Upon review of the literature, ischemic infarction and intracerebral hemorrhage are uncommon complications of TTP. Our case demonstrates a unique case of subarachnoid hemorrhage as the initial neurological manifestation of TTP.Disclosure: Dr. Wei has nothing to disclose. Dr. Ramesh has nothing to disclose.

Current and Emerging MR Imaging Techniques for the Diagnosis and Management of CSF Flow Disorders: A Review of Phase-Contrast and Time-Spatial Labeling Inversion Pulse REVIEW ARTICLE
This article provides an overview of phase-contrast and time–spatial labeling inversion pulse MR imaging techniques to assess CSF movement in the CNS under normal and pathophysiologic situations. Phase-contrast can quantitatively measure stroke volume in selected regions, notably the aqueduct of Sylvius, synchronized to the heartbeat. Judicious fine-tuning of the technique is needed to achieve maximal temporal resolution, and it has limited visualization of CSF motion in many CNS regions. Phase-contrast is frequently used to evaluate those patients with suspected normal pressure hydrocephalus and a Chiari I malformat...

Research progress on vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia.
Authors: Yuan YJ, Xu K, Luo Q, Yu JL Abstract Vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD) is a rare disease characterized by significant expansion, elongation, and tortuosity of the vertebrobasilar arteries. Current data regarding VBD are very limited. Here we systematically review VBD incidence, etiology, characteristics, clinical manifestations, treatment strategies, and prognosis. The exact incidence rate of VBD remains unclear, but is estimated to be 1.3% of the population. The occurrence of VBD is thought to be due to the cooperation of multiple factors, including congenital factors, infections and immune status, and...

E-075 neurosarcoidosis presenting as aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: an interesting case and novel treatment
Neurosarcoidosis, the term used for sarcoidosis involving the central nervous system, represents an uncommon form of sarcoidosis, found in a 5% of patients with systemic sarcoidosis. Clinically evident cerebrovascular involvement in neurosarcoidosis has been reported but appears to be an extremely rare manifestation of neurosarcoidosis. The literature describes these cerebral vasculopathic changes as areas of stenosis and/or vascular irregularity, with clinical manifestations including headache, ischemic stroke, and parenchymal hemorrhage. Neurosarcoidosis has even been described as the etiology for a case of moyamoya synd...
