Inter-rater reliability of the simplified Modified Rankin Scale as an outcome measure for treated cerebral aneurysm patients
CONCLUSION: The simplified mRS appears to be a reliable clinical outcome measure for treated cerebral aneurysm patients. When needed, dichotomization is more reliable at mRS 0-2 vs 3-5 than at 0-1 vs 2-5. The simplified mRS is a promising tool in the functional assessment of aneurysm patients recruited in pragmatic care trials.PMID:35662528 | DOI:10.1016/j.neuchi.2022.04.003

Successful delayed coiling of a ruptured growing distal posterior cerebral artery mycotic aneurysm.
Abstract Intracranial infectious aneurysm (IIA) is a rare form of cerebrovascular malformation for which obliteration may be undertaken after rupture or non-response to targeted antibiotic therapy. We discuss the case of a 19-year-old man who presented with acute neurologic decline (Glasgow Coma Scale of 8) and endocarditis. CT images demonstrated subarachnoid haemorrhage, hydrocephalus and a mycotic aneurysm on the left posterior cerebral artery. Conservative management was initially decided due to the high risk of stroke and hemianopia. However, it was then escalated to endovascular treatment because of increase...
