- Skull Base CSF Leaks: Potential Underlying Pathophysiology and Evaluation of Brain MR Imaging Findings Associated with Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension
The purpose of this study was to use a validated brain MRI scoring system (Bern score) to evaluate patients with confirmed skull base CSF leaks for findings associated with SIH. The authors found that patients with skull base CSF leaks did not have brain MRI findings that are associated with SIH and likely have distinct pathophysiology from spinal CSF leaks.
- Influence of Stroke-Onset Location on the Efficacy of Endovascular Thrombectomy: Comparison of Outcomes between In-Hospital versus Community-Onset Strokes
This study compared clinical outcomes in in-hospital strokes versus community-onset strokes in patients treated with endovascular thrombectomy for large-vessel occlusion. In-hospital strokes had overall faster time metrics from stroke onset to reperfusion. However, the rate of successful reperfusion and safety outcomes (in-hospital mortality and parenchymal hematoma) did not differ between the groups. Ninety-day mRS was also similar in both groups.
