Thirty-five patients with high-grade, symptomatic intracranial stenosis and poor antegrade flow, treated with intracranial angioplasty without stent placement from January 2010 to December 2016, were retrospectively reviewed. The main outcomes included the changes in antegrade flow and residual stenosis and any stroke or death within 1 month. The average preprocedure stenosis was 88%. The immediate, average postprocedure stenosis rate was 25%, and the average postprocedure stenosis rate at last angiographic follow-up was 35%. The primary end point of major stroke or death at 30 days was observed in 1 patient (1/35, 2.9%), and no patient had intraprocedural complications. The authors conclude that primary balloon angioplasty was an effective treatment option for symptomatic intracranial stenosis with a high risk of stroke.

MR imaging of 139 children presenting with port-wine stain and/or Sturge-Weber syndrome between 1998 and 2017 was evaluated by 2 pediatric neuroradiologists for marrow signal abnormality and pial angioma and other Sturge-Weber syndrome features. Groups were divided into port-wine stain-only (without intracranial Sturge-Weber syndrome features) and Sturge-Weber syndrome (the presence of cerebral pial angioma). In the port-wine stain-only cohort, 78% had ipsilateral bony changes and 17% had no intraosseous changes. In the Sturge-Weber syndrome cohort, 84/99 had associated port-wine stain, 91% had bony changesipsilateral to the port-wine stain or had no bone changes in the absence of port-wine stain, and 77% had bony changes ipsilateral to a cerebral pial angioma. The authors conclude that intraosseous marrow changes are strongly associated with facial port-wine stain. No significant association was found between pial angioma and bone marrow changes.

Sixty-six patients with brain tumors were evaluated with resting-state fMRI using seed-based analysis of hand and orofacial motor regions. Rates of supplementary motor area localization were compared with those in healthy controls and with localization results by task-based fMRI. Localization of the supplementary motor area using hand motor seed regions was more effective than seeding using orofacial motor regions for both patients with brain tumor and controls. Bilateral hand motor seeding was superior to unilateral hand motor seeding in patients with brain tumor for either side. The authors conclude that in addition to task-based fMRI, seed-based analysis of resting-state fMRI represents an equally effective method for supplementary motor area localization in patients with brain tumors, with the best results obtained with bilateral hand motor region seeding.
