Isolated middle cerebral artery dissection: a systematic review
Abstract Acute stroke can be missed in the emergency department, particularly in younger patients and in those with more vague symptoms such as headache or dizziness. Cervicocephalic dissections are one group of etiologies for acute stroke in the young. While cervicocephalic dissections are not uncommon in clinical practice, isolated middle cerebral artery dissection (MCAD) has been rarely reported as a cause for stroke. We sought to review the clinical implications and pathophysiology of an isolated MCAD. We searched the medical literature for isolated MCAD in clinical stroke patients using MEDLINE, HighWire, an...

Outcomes of middle cerebral artery angioplasty and stenting with Wingspan at a high-volume center
Conclusion Intracranial stenting of MCA stenoses may have the potential of better clinical outcomes if patients are properly selected and treated by an experienced operator at a high-volume center.

Multimodality imaging of carotid web: A case report and literature review
CONCLUSIONS: carotid web is an under-recognized cause of ischemic stroke. It is easy to be missed or misdiagnosed. Carotid revascularization can effectively prevent recurrent stroke for patients with symptomatic carotid web. Clinicians should strength their learning and understanding of carotid web.PMID:35306924 | DOI:10.1177/17085381221084809

Retinal Vascular Signs and Cerebrovascular Diseases
Conclusions: There is extensive and increasing evidence that a range of retinal vascular signs and disease are closely linked to CeVD, including subclinical and clinical CeVD. New technology including AI-DL will allow further translation to clinical utilization.

Fighting for Kennedy: Coping with moyamoya disease
If you happen to be waiting in line at the supermarket with Kennedy Grace Cheshire, you’ll likely leave the store with a whole new group of friends. This outgoing five-year-old can’t resist introducing herself to her fellow shoppers — and then introducing them to each other. “She’s never met a stranger,” says her mother, Amber. Kennedy, who lives in Texas, brought that playful attitude to the East Coast last year when she and her family arrived at Boston Children’s Hospital for evaluation and treatment. At age two, she had been diagnosed with neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1), a genetic condition that causes symptoms...

Differences in retinal microvasculature between large artery atherosclerosis and small artery disease: an optical coherence tomography angiography study
Conclusions: We found LAA patients had significantly reduced DVC density compared with SAD; we also showed anterior LAA patients had significantly reduced SVC density compared with posterior LAA. These findings suggest retinal imaging has the potential to be used to detect microvasculature changes in subtypes of ischemic stroke.PMID:36620764 | PMC:PMC9816383 | DOI:10.3389/fnagi.2022.1053638

Automatic Segmentation of the Left Atrium from Computed Tomography Angiography Images
Ann Biomed Eng. 2023 Mar 8. doi: 10.1007/s10439-023-03170-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe left atrial appendage (LAA) causes 91% of thrombi in atrial fibrillation patients, a potential harbinger of stroke. Leveraging computed tomography angiography (CTA) images, radiologists interpret the left atrium (LA) and LAA geometries to stratify stroke risk. Nevertheless, accurate LA segmentation remains a time-consuming task with high inter-observer variability. Binary masks of the LA and their corresponding CTA images were used to train and test a 3D U-Net to automate LA segmentation. One model was trained using the entire un...

After Moyamoya surgery, a back-to-normal birthday for Carolyn
Before Moyamoya surgery Carolyn Milks turns 8 on August 21. It’s a big celebration. Carolyn and her family aren’t just celebrating her birthday — they’re celebrating Carolyn’s return to normal. For most of the summer, things like swimming, riding her bicycle and horsing around with her sisters and cousins had been out of the question for Carolyn. But on August 11, Dr. Ed Smith, co-director of the Boston Children’s Hospital Cerebrovascular Surgery and Interventions Center, gave Carolyn the green light. She could go back to being a kid. “This is what kids really want. They just want to ...

Diagnosis and Management of Transient Ischemic Attack
This article reviews the diagnosis, investigation, and recommended management after a transient ischemic attack (TIA) and discusses how to make an accurate diagnosis, including the diagnosis of mimics of TIAs. Recent Findings: Up to a 10% risk of recurrent stroke exists after a TIA, and up to 80% of this risk is preventable with urgent assessment and treatment. Imaging of the brain and intracranial and extracranial blood vessels using CT, CT angiography, carotid Doppler ultrasound, and MRI is an important part of the diagnostic assessment. Treatment options include anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation, carotid revascul...
