Rationale: Cerebral autosomal recessive arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy is a rare genetic condition classified as a cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). Traditionally, this disorder has been linked to either homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the high-temperature requirement A serine peptidase 1 (HTRA1) gene. Nevertheless, contemporary research has uncovered that heterozygous mutations in HTRA1 can also manifest in patients displaying patterns of autosomal dominant inheritance.

Bilateral medial medullary infarction (BMMI) is a rare type of brainstem ischemic stroke involving the anteromedial medulla oblongata bilaterally. Diagnosis is often delayed due to its rarity, non-specific clinical presentation, and non-revealing imaging in the early phases. MRI plays a crucial role in early detection by revealing characteristic patterns.

BackgroundDissecting pseudoaneurysms of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) are rare, high-risk lesions with outcomes heavily influenced by anatomical location. This study evaluates the relationship between PICA segmental anatomy, endovascular treatment strategy, and clinical outcomes.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed 21 patients with dissecting PICA aneurysms treated endovascularly between 2013 and 2025.

Department of neurosurgery, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, No. 45 Changchun Street, Xicheng District, Beijing, China.

Background: Vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD) is a rare cerebrovascular disorder. The natural history of patients with VBD is generally poor, and current treatments do not appear to provide significant clinical benefit. Therefore, understanding the underlying mechanisms of VBD and implementing appropriate strategies in advance are particularly important.
