Isolated posterior inferior cerebellar artery dissection with ischaemic stroke: evaluating the radiological features and diagnostic feasibility of high-resolution vessel wall imaging
2022, Clinical RadiologyCitation Excerpt :The parameters for each sequences were as follows1: PDWI: 2,000 ms repetition time)TR)/31 ms echo time (TE), 10 cm field of view (FOV), 200 × 200 matrix size, 2 mm section thickness, 22 sections, no intersection gap, number of excitations (NEX) = 2, 6 minutes acquisition time,2 T2WI: 2,000 ms TR/100 ms TE, 10 cm FOV, 200 × 200 matrix; 2 mm section thickness, 22 sections, no intersection gap, number of excitations (NEX) = 4; 6 minutes 36 seconds acquisition time3; T1WI: 1,000 ms TR/7.9 ms TE, 10 cm; 200 × 200; 2 mm section thickness, 22 sections, no intersection gap, NEX = 2, 5 minutes 40 seconds acquisition time4; time of flight (TOF) imaging: 25 ms TR/3.45 ms TE; 20° flip angle, 20 × 25 cm FOV, 880 × 267 matrix, 1.2 mm section thickness, 160 sections. The black-blood technique with pre-regional saturation pulses of 80 mm thickness to saturate incoming arterial flow was used for 2D HR-VWI.5 3D CE-MSDE-T1WI: 450 ms TR/18 ms TE, echo train length ETL of 18, flow velocity encoding of 2 cm/s for gradient pulses; 170 × 170 × 44 mm FOV, 0.7 × 0.7 × 1.0 voxel size, 44 mm section thickness, reformatted images in axial, coronal, sagittal planes with 1 mm thickness; 4 minutes 50 seconds acquisition time.
Treatment Strategy for Isolated Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery Dissection
2017, World NeurosurgeryCitation Excerpt :The most appropriate treatment for dissecting PICA aneurysms is controversial. Most patients have been reported to undergo surgical occlusion or trapping with revascularization, direct clipping, and wrapping.1,6,10,29 The endovascular procedures used have included coil or liquid material embolization of the aneurysmal portion of the dissection, with preservation of the PICA and endovascular PICA sacrifice.3,8,28,30,31
Temporary occlusion test using a microcatheter
2012, World NeurosurgeryCitation Excerpt :When the diseased segment of the proximal PICA is occluded or trapped, the perforating vessels of the first three segments of the PICA that are associated with the risk of brain stem ischemia are sacrificed in both surgical and endovascular treatment. Dinichert et al. (4) considered aneurysmal dilations of the dissected arterial segments that may be associated with the absence of normal perforating branches, and occlusion of these segments can, thus, be performed without further damage to perforating territories. Isokangas et al. (5) reviewed the literature and their own experience and proposed that the risk for brain stem ischemia seems to be relatively low, though potentially carrying a high risk for morbidity.
