Article Abstract

Introduction: Pediatric intracranial aneurysms are rare, with some different characteristics from those in adults. Here, we present a case of distal anterior cerebral artery aneurysm which we believe the first case from Vietnam.

Presentation Of Case: A 3 years old boy presented with headache, lethargic and hemiparesis was diagnosed ruptured distal anterior cerebral artery aneurysm with CTA. 10 days before admission in our hospital, the toddler was admitted in local hospital with diagnosis of SAH without more accurate findings. Clipping microsurgery of aneurysms with left interhemispheric approach was done with good outcome.

Discussion: The epidermiology, presentation and diagnosis and strategy of treatments as well as their outcomes were discussed. We also discussed our thoughts about our case within the limited-resource condition such as in Vietnam.

Conclusion: Pediatric intracranial anerusyms are rare but should be recognised in neurosurgical practice. Surgery is an effective treatment method.

Objectives: Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) is a complication of severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) that carries a risk of secondary brain injury. This study investigated the association between ICP burden and brain injury patterns on MRI in children with severe TBI.

Design, Setting, And Patients: Secondary analysis of the Approaches and Decisions in Acute Pediatric TBI (ADAPT) study, which included children with severe TBI (Glasgow Coma Scale score < 9) who received a clinical MRI within 30 days of injury.

The lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) serves as a critical hub for higher-order cognitive and executive functions in the human brain, coordinating brain networks whose disruption has been implicated in many neurological and psychiatric disorders. While transcranial brain stimulation treatments often target the LPFC, our current understanding of connectivity profiles guiding these interventions based on electrophysiology remains limited. Here, we present a high-resolution probabilistic map of bidirectional effective connectivity between the LPFC and widespread cortical and subcortical regions.

Background: The aim of this review is to present the role of intraoperative flow cytometry (IFC) in the intracranial tumor surgery. This scoping review aims to summarize current evidence on the intraoperative use of IFC in patients with intracranial tumors.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in the Medline, Cochrane and Scopus databases up to January 21, 2025.

Intracranial venous pressures and endovascular outcomes in pediatric patients with cerebral venous sinus stenosis.

Department of Neurosurgery, Division of Pediatric Neurosurgery, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Children's of Alabama, 1600 7TH Avenue South, Lowder 400, Birmingham, AL, 35233, USA.

Purpose: Diagnostic cerebral venograms are the gold standard for evaluating cerebral venous sinus stenosis (CVSS). Venous sinus stenting (VSS) and less commonly venous sinus angioplasty are emerging endovascular treatments in pediatric patients. This study examines the baseline intracranial venous pressures and postoperative endovascular outcomes in pediatric patients with CVSS.

Intracranial Rescue Stenting in Pediatric Focal Cerebral Arteriopathy.

Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Neuroradiology, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland.

Background: Pediatric acute ischemic stroke is a rare yet severe condition with multifactorial etiology, often associated with vasculopathies. Endovascular intervention in children with focal cerebral arteriopathy is seldom reported.

Purpose: Our aim was to report feasibility of intracranial rescue stenting for the management of pediatric focal cerebral arteriopathy with flow-limiting stenosis.
