TL;DR: The present study provides the first evidence that hypoxia induces NO production from glial cells, and may play a critical role in the pathogenesis of cerebral ischemia in vivo.

TL;DR: Based on the operative findings, cine-mode MRI was more sensitive for identifying the intradural location of arachnoid cysts than was conventional MRI.

TL;DR: In this article, a 69-year-old female presented with a ruptured aneurysm at the distal tip of a fenestrated anomalous artery which originated in the ophthalmic segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA), passed between the optic nerves, ascended along the midline, and formed the fENestration before dividing into the bilateral pericallosal arteries.
Abstract: A 69-year-old female presented with a ruptured aneurysm at the distal tip of a fenestrated anomalous artery which originated in the ophthalmic segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA), passed between the optic nerves, ascended along the midline, and formed the fenestration before dividing into the bilateral pericallosal arteries. The anomalous artery manifested as subarachnoid hemorrhage. Four days later, she died from severe pulmonary edema. The angiographic finding was confirmed by postmortem examination. Numerous perforating vessels from the anomalous artery and the distal ICA supplied the optic nerves and chiasm. This finding supports the idea that this anomalous vessel may be an extreme developmental variation of the prechiasmal arterial plexus.

TL;DR: Co coating with fibrin glue did not increase the incidence of chronic hydrocephalus and intrathecal application of fibr in glue is a promising method in the field of clinical neurosurgery.
Abstract: The incidence of chronic hydrocephalus was studied in 39 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage, who underwent perivascular coating with fibrin glue of cerebral arteries after clipping of aneurysm. A use was made of this procedure in order to prevent vasospasm by keeping the main cerebral arteries away from direct contact with subarachnoid clots. Most cases in this series belonged to group 3 of Fisher's CT grade (33/39, 84.6%). As a result, despite the high CT grade, the incidence of chronic hydrocephalus was as low as 17.9% (7/39), almost in agreement with those of the previous literature. In conclusion, (1) coating with fibrin glue did not increase the incidence of chronic hydrocephalus and (2) intrathecal application of fibrin glue is a promising method in the field of clinical neurosurgery.
