- Dural Venous Sinus Stenosis: Why Distinguishing Intrinsic-versus-Extrinsic Stenosis Matters
Most patients in this study with idiopathic intracranial hypertension had extrinsic stenosis, and most patients with pulsatile tinnitus had intrinsic stenosis. Awareness and reporting of these subtypes may reduce the under-recognition of potential contributory stenoses in a given patient's idiopathic intracranial hypertension or pulsatile tinnitus.
- Neck Location on the Outer Convexity is a Predictor of Incomplete Occlusion in Treatment with the Pipeline Embolization Device: Clinical and Angiographic Outcomes
The aneurysm neck located on the outer convexity is a new, incomplete occlusion predictor, joining older age, fusiform aneurysms, and aneurysms with the branching artery from the dome. No permanent neurologic deficits or rupture were observed in the follow-up, even with incomplete occlusion.
