- Risk Factors for Unfavorable Functional Outcome after Endovascular Treatment of Cerebral Vasospasm following Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
In this study, patients’ individual risk factors, intensity, and extent of cerebral vasospasm associated with poor functional outcomes after endovascular treatment of aneurysmal SAH. Analysis showed an association of higher age, higher Hunt and Hess grades, the occurrence of rebleeding, and bihemispheric vasospasm with unfavorable outcome (mRS 3-6).
- The Many Faces of Myxopapillary Ependymomas
This clinical report identified the spectrum of MRI characteristics and pathologic patterns of myxopapillary ependymomas. Histopathologic analysis identified a microcystic pattern in larger tumors and a solid pattern in the 4 smaller tumors. The findings suggest a possible association between cases with drop metastases and cases of large tumors with a microcystic pattern.
