Restoration of the corticoreticular pathway following shunt operation for hydrocephalus in a stroke patient
We report on a stroke patient who showed restoration of discontinued corticoreticular pathways (CRPs) on serial diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) concurrent with recovery of gait disturbance following shunt operation for hydrocephalus.Patient concerns:A 67-year-old female patient underwent stereotactic drainage for management of intraventricular hemorrhage due to a rupture of the left posterior communicating artery.Diagnoses:After 4 weeks from onset, the patient exhibited quadriparesis with more severe weakness in the proximal muscles and could not even stand or walk. She underwent comprehensive rehabilitation for 3 week...

Results and functional outcomes of acute ischemic stroke patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy admitted to intensive care unit
Conclusions The factors relating to a worse functional outcome were symptomatic hemorrhage transformation, lack of recanalization and complications during EVT. The factors relating to mortality were symptomatic hemorrhage and hydrocephalus. Distal flow was achieve in most cases with a low complication rate. Half of the patients presented functional independence one year after the stroke.

Race-Specific Predictors of Mortality in Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Differential Impacts of Intraventricular Hemorrhage and Age Among Blacks and Whites Stroke
BackgroundIntracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) carries high risk for short‐term mortality. We sought to identify race‐specific predictors of mortality in ICH patients.Methods and ResultsWe used 2 databases, the Johns Hopkins clinical stroke database and the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS). We included 226 patients with the primary diagnosis of spontaneous ICH from our stroke database between 2010 and 2013; in the NIS, 42 077 patients met inclusion criteria. Logistic regression was used to assess differences in predictors of mortality in blacks compared to whites. In our clinical stroke database, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS; P...

Aqueductal CSF Stroke Volume Is Increased in Patients with Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus and Decreases after Shunt Surgery ADULT BRAIN
CONCLUSIONS:
Aqueductal CSF stroke volume was increased in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus and decreased after shunt surgery, whereas retrograde aqueductal net flow did not seem to be specific for patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus. On the basis of the results, the usefulness of CSF flow parameters to predict outcome after shunt surgery seem to be limited.

Surgical Aspects of Decompression Craniectomy in Malignant Stroke: Review
Background: Space-occupying malignant stroke of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) is associated with a high mortality rate of up to 80% under conservative treatment. Although there is convincing evidence that decompression craniectomy can significantly reduce mortality rate and improve neurological outcome in young patients (60 years or with infarcts of the dominant hemisphere. Furthermore, it emphasizes technical issues such as timing and size of the craniectomy, additional temporal lobectomy, and resection of the temporal muscle, as well as duraplasty and cranioplasty. According to the current literature, decompression cr...

Extent of secondary intraventricular hemorrhage is an independent predictor of outcomes in intracerebral hemorrhage: data from the Helsinki ICH Study
ConclusionsThe presence of intraventricular hemorrhage was independently associated with increased mortality, and all the intraventricular hemorrhage scores were strong predictors of three‐month mortality.

Mortality rates after emergent posterior fossa decompression for ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke in older patients
Cerebellar stroke causes major morbidity in the aging population. Guidelines from the American Stroke Association recommend emergent decompression in patients who have brainstem compression, hydrocephalus or clinical deterioration. The authors sought to determine the 30 day and 1 year mortality rates in patients>60 years of age undergoing emergent posterior fossa decompression.

Keeping up with Amanda: Life after brain surgery
In most ways, Amanda LePage is just like any other rambunctious fourth grader. She loves school, dance class, playing basketball and keeping up with her twin sister Macy and older brother Nathan. Sometimes it just takes her a little longer to do these everyday things. That’s because Amanda has been through a lot in her short nine years.
Amanda was just 5 months old when she was brought by helicopter to Boston Children’s Hospital for a hemorrhage in her brain from an intracranial aneurysm, a type of vascular malformation. Despite long odds, Amanda survived two life-saving brain surgeries and a massive stroke that left ...

Early versus late tracheostomy after decompressive craniectomy for stroke
ConclusionEarly tracheostomy shortens duration of mechanical ventilation and length of stay after surgical decompression for stroke, but it did not impact mortality or VAP rates. A decision tree is a practical tool that may be helpful in guiding pre-operative decision-making with patients ’ families.

Complex Clearance Mechanisms After Intraventricular Hemorrhage and rt-PA Treatment —a Review on Clinical Trials
AbstractIntracerebral hemorrhage in combination with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a severe type of stroke frequently leading to prolonged clinical care, continuous disability, shunt dependency, and high mortality. The molecular mechanisms induced by IVH are complex and not fully understood. Moreover, the treatment options for IVH are limited. Intraventricular recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) dissolves the blood clot in the ventricular system; however, whether the clinical outcome is thereby positively affected is still being debated. The mechanistic cascade induced by intraventricular rt-PA therapy ...

Neurogenic fever due to injury of the hypothalamus in a stroke patient: Case report
We report on a stroke patient with neurogenic fever due to injury of hypothalamus, demonstrated by using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).
Patient concerns:
A 28-year-old male patient was admitted to the rehabilitation department of university hospital at 30 months after onset. Brain MRI showed leukomalactic lesions in hypothalamus, bilateral medial temporal lobe, and bilateral basal ganglia. He showed intermittent high body temperature (maximum:39.5°C, range:38.5–39.2°C), but did not show any infection signs upon physical examination or after assessing his white blood cell count and inflammatory enzyme levels suc...

Risk and prognostic factors in perinatal hemorrhagic stroke
Conclusion: Our findings showed that PHS was much more common in preterm infants. Mucosal bleeding and multiple lobes involvement were more common in term infants. PHS has high morbidity and mortality rates. Small for gestational age and mucosal bleeding were more common in infants who are dead.

Acute ischemic stroke secondary to ventriculoperitoneal shunt dysfunction in a child with Moyamoya syndrome
CONCLUSION: Children who receive RT for brain tumor, particularly if the circle of Willis region is involved, require close surveillance for the development of vasculopathy and consequent stroke. This surveillance must be even tighter if the patient has been treated with ventricular shunt for the possible synergistic interaction between the two causes on reducing cerebral perfusion and increasing the risk of acute ischemic events.PMID:35928308 | PMC:PMC9345112 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_434_2022
