Clinical utility of serum glial fibrillary acidic protein in glial neoplasm
CONCLUSION: Increasing serum GFAP levels in the preoperative period correlate with higher tumor grade, especially grade III and grade IV tumors. The serum GFAP levels showed relation to tumor volume, both before and after surgery.PMID:36761257 | PMC:PMC9899464 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_889_2022

E-152 Neurointervention in the pediatric population: 18-years experience from a single center
ConclusionsAt out institution, multidisciplinary interaction allowed the treatment of a wide variety of cerebrovascular diseases in the pediatric population. Pediatric patients carry high complication risks due to frequent presence of systemic conditions, but joined experience from pediatric neurology, neurosurgery and neurointervention departments allow their treatment with optimal planning and results.Abstract E-152 Table 1Intracranial aneurysms Variable Value Age at diagnosis, mean (SD) or median (IQR) 16 (16–19) Male:Female 12:10 Associated conditions•Moya moya•Connective tissue disorder•Von Wille...

Transdermal opioid patch in treatment of paroxysmal autonomic instability with dystonia with multiple cerebral insults: A case report
Rationale: Paroxysmal autonomic instability with dystonia (PAID) is an underdiagnosed syndrome that describes a collection of symptoms following diverse cerebral insults, such as traumatic brain injury, hydrocephalus, hemorrhagic stroke, or brain anoxia. It is manifested by systemic high blood pressure, hyperthermia, tachycardia, tachypnea, diaphoresis, intermittent agitation, and certain forms of dystonia. Patient concerns: A semi-comatose 46-year-old man was transferred from the regional rehabilitation hospital with various complaints involving fluctuating vital signs, including uncontrolled hyperthermia, hypertensi...

Lacunar Stroke, Cavernous Angioma, and Fusiform Aneurysm Due to Irradiation for Pilocytic Astrocytoma —A Case Report
We describe a rare case of a pediatric patient who presented multiple different types of vascular events consecutively in the irradiated field including lacunar stroke because of occlusion of perforating artery, intraventricular hemorrhage from cavernoma, and subarachnoid hemorrhage because of the rupture of fusiform aneurysm, 6 years after radiotherapy against pilocytic astrocytoma.

Hemin inhibits the large conductance potassium channel in brain mitochondria: A putative novel mechanism of neurodegeneration.
Abstract Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a pathological condition that accompanies certain neurological diseases like hemorrhagic stroke or brain trauma. Its effects are severely destructive to the brain and can be fatal. There is an entire spectrum of harmful factors which are associated with the pathogenesis of ICH. One of them is a massive release of hemin from the decomposed erythrocytes. It has been previously shown, that hemin can inhibit the large-conductance Ca(2+)-regulated potassium channel in the plasma membrane. However, it remained unclear whether this phenomenon applies also to the mitochondrial la...

Tuberous sclerosis presenting with hemorrhagic stroke.
Abstract BACKGROUND: Incidence of intracerebral hemorrhage in patients with tuberous sclerosis is rare, and in most of the cases it is associated with either underlying cerebrovascular malformation or hemorrhage into the subependymal giant cell astrocytoma. CASE CHARACTERISTICS: A 2-year-old boy presented with a hemorrhagic stroke, and subsequently diagnosed as a case of tuberous sclerosis. OBSERVATION: Detailed work-up for stroke did not reveal any definite etiology. OUTCOME: Weakness gradually improved. Follow-up neuroimaging showed resolution of hemorrhage. MESSAGE: Clinician must be aware r...
