Rapidly Fatal Internal Carotid Artery Mycotic Aneurysm Rupture in a Rheumatoid Patient Taking a TNF-α Inhibitor: Case Report and Literature Review
Conclusions Although fungal mycotic aneurysms of the ICA are rare, their incidence may increase with the expanded use of immunosuppressive medications. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis who take potent immunosuppression regimens may be prime candidates for mycotic aneurysms because they often have two favoring conditions: atherosclerosis and immunosuppression. These ICA aneurysms carry a high mortality rate, so early diagnosis and aggressive therapy, potentially by endovascular trapping/vessel occlusion coupled with long-term antifungal therapy, is essential.[...]Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New YorkArticle in Th...

STICH 2: does decompression have a role in superficial intracerebral hematoma?
The recently published second Surgical Trial in Intracerebral Haemorrhage (STICH‐2) tested whether surgical evacuation of superficial spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage was effective at reducing death and disability at 6 months after onset. Participants were randomised to a policy of early surgical intervention or initial medical management alone within 48 hours of symptom onset. After enrolling 601 patients across 78 centres in 27 countries, intention to treat analysis showed no difference in outcome. Time to intervention was a median of 26 hours after symptom onset in the surgical arm, and craniotomy accounted for 9...

Surveillance neuroimaging and neurologic examinations affect care for intracerebral hemorrhage
Conclusions: More than 25% of surgical interventions performed after ICH were prompted by delayed imaging or clinical findings. Serial neurologic examinations and neuroimaging are important and effective surveillance techniques for monitoring patients with ICH.

Management of agitation following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: is there a role for Beta-blockers?
Discussion. Antipsychotics and benzodiazepines are often not sufficiently effective in the control of agitation/aggression in patients with traumatic brain injury and similar conditions. Our case report and the literature review including a cochrane review suggests that beta-blockers may be helpful in this situation. PMID: 22937415 [PubMed]

Rates and Outcomes of Neurosurgical Intervention for Thromboytic-Related Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke (P01.221)
CONCLUSIONS: Craniotomy for post-thrombolytic ICH in acute stroke is a salvage treatment offered to a small proportion of patients. In current practice, most patients undergoing craniotomy either die or are discharged to a long-term care facility.Disclosure: Dr. Norby has nothing to disclose. Dr. Adil has nothing to disclose.
