PURPOSE: Intravenous alteplase (IVT) prior to endovascular treatment (EVT) is neither superior nor noninferior to EVT alone in acute ischemic stroke patients. We aim to assess whether the effect of IVT prior to EVT differs according to CT perfusion (CTP)-based imaging parameters. METHODS: In this retrospective post hoc analysis, we included patients from the MR CLEAN-NO IV with available CTP data. CTP data were processed using syngo.via (version VB40). We performed multivariable logistic regression to obtain the effect size estimates (adjusted common odds ratio a[c]OR) on 90-day functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale [mRS]) and functional independence (mRS 0-2) for CTP parameters with two-way multiplicative interaction terms between IVT administration and the studied parameters...

PURPOSE: The most common neuroimaging manifestations of patients suffering from spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) include subdural fluid collections, enhancement of the pachymeninges, engorgement of venous structures, pituitary hyperemia, sagging of the brainstem, and cerebellar hemosiderosis. However, infrequently patients may present with separate neuroradiological findings which could be easily mistaken for other pathology. METHODS: We describe patients who presented with unique neuroimaging findings who were eventually found to have a spinal CSF leak or venous fistula...

Cholesterol crystals (CCs) in carotid plaques might be an indicator of vulnerability, although they have not been fully investigated and non-invasive methods of assessment have not been established. This study examines the validity of assessing CCs using dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) that uses X-rays with different tube voltages for imaging, allowing material discrimination. We retrospectively evaluated patients who had undergone preoperative cervical computed tomography angiography and carotid endarterectomy between December 2019 and July 2020...

PURPOSE: Endovascular treatment of spinal AVMs is limited by low complete cure rates. Transarterial extensive treatment with liquid embolics carries the risk of clinically relevant ischemic complications. We report two cases of symptomatic spinal AVMs treated by a transvenous approach with retrograde pressure cooker technique. METHODS: In two selected cases, transvenous navigation aimed at retrograde pressure cooker embolization. RESULTS: Retrograde venous navigation was possible with two parallel microcatheters, and the pressure cooker technique with ethylenvinylalcohol-polymer was applicable in both cases...

PURPOSE: Various neuroimaging methods exist to assess the collateral circulation in stroke patients but much of the evidence is based on computed tomography. Our aim was to review the evidence for using magnetic resonance imaging for collateral status evaluation pre-thrombectomy and assess the impact of these methods on functional independence. METHODS: We systematically reviewed EMBASE and MEDLINE for studies that evaluated baseline collaterals using MRI pre-thrombectomy and conducted a meta-analysis to express the relationship between good collaterals (defined variably as the presence [good] vs absence [poor] or quality [ordinal scores binarized as good-moderate vs poor] of collaterals) and functional independence (modified Rankin score mRS≤2) at 90 days...

The sellar region represents a complex anatomical area, composed of multiple structures of different embryological derivation, including the skull base and the pituitary gland, along with vascular, nervous, and meningeal structures. Masses arising in this region include benign and malignant lesions arising from the pituitary gland itself, but also from vestigial embryological residues or surrounding tissues, that may require different therapeutic approaches. While assessing sellar region masses, the combination of clinical presentation and imaging features is fundamental to define hypotheses about their nature...

PURPOSE: We performed a retrospective qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the sutural changes during the physiological growth to define the age-related ossification stages of major and minor skull sutures or synchondroses. METHODS: A total of 390 healthy subjects, examined for cranio-facial trauma and whose CT scans turned out to be normal, were clustered into homogenous age-matched groups ranged from birth to 90 years. High-resolution CT was used to assess the degree of sutural closure according to a 3-grade scoring system, the sutural pattern, the width, and the density of the gap calculated as the average of two or three ROIs along each suture/synchondrosis...

PURPOSE: Traditionally, in the work-up of patients for spontaneous intracranial hypotension, T1 post-contrast imaging is performed in order to assess for pachymeningeal enhancement. The aim of this study is to assess whether pachymeningeal hyperintensity can be identified on a non-contrast FLAIR sequence in these patients as a surrogate sign for pachymeningeal enhancement. METHODS: The patient cohort was identified from a prospectively maintained database of patients with a clinical diagnosis of intracranial hypotension...

PURPOSE: The anatomical proximity of the styloid process (SP) to the ipsilateral internal carotid artery (ICA) has been recently recognized as a possible risk factor for carotid artery dissection (CAD). We aimed to verify this hypothesis by comparing the minimum distance between SP and ICA in young adult patients (< 55 years) with and without CAD. METHODS: Thirty-one CAD patients (cases) were compared with 41 sex-matched patients without dissection, group one of control (G1), and with 16 sex-matched patients with vertebral artery dissection (VAD), group two of control (G2)...
