This is a comprehensive group of guidelines for imaging patients with demyelinating disease, from an international group of neurologists and radiologists. Suggestions for MR imaging protocols are given for the brain, for surveillance imaging for progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, for spinal cord imaging, and for the orbit. Recommendations are also given for what type of material should be included in the report.

The authors evaluated complications in a cohort of 45 patients with acutely ruptured aneurysms and 47 with unruptured aneurysms. All were treated with stent-assisted coiling. The permanent complication rate in ruptured aneurysms was 11*. Five of 45 patients had an early rebleed from the treated aneurysm after 3–45 days, and in 4 this rebleed was fatal. Thromboembolic complications occurred in 2 patients with unruptured aneurysms. The authors conclude that the complication rate in ruptured aneurysms was 10 times higher than in unruptured aneurysms.
