Background The lack of systematic evidence on leptomeningeal enhancement (LME) on
MRI in neurological diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS), hampers its interpretation in …

Purpose: To prospectively evaluate changes in brain perfusion computed tomographic (CT)
parameters after revascularization of unilateral symptomatic carotid artery stenosis and to …

Object The authors analyzed cerebral perfusion and metabolism in patients with internal
carotid artery stenosis before and after carotid artery stenting (CAS). Methods Sixteen …

Purpose: To determine whether any initial reductions in cardiovascular reserve (CVR)
normalize after carotid revascularization and—because reduced CVR represents a risk …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Symptomatic cerebral hyperperfusion has an incidence of
5% after endovascular stent placement. We hypothesized that increases in cerebral blood …

Background The aim of the present study is the characterization of hemodynamics to predict
hyperperfusion syndrome (HPS) after carotid artery stenting (CAS) with positron emission …

Introduction Carotid revascularisation improves haemodynamic compromise in cerebral
circulation as an additional benefit to the primary goal of reducing future thromboembolic …

OBJECTIVE: Glucocorticoid analogues are often administered to patients with intracranial
space-occupying lesions. Clinical response can be dramatic, but the neurophysiological …

Failure of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a critical event in the development and
progression of diseases such as acute ischemic stroke, chronic ischemia or small vessels …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Significant extracranial stenosis of the ICA is a known risk
factor for future stroke and it has been shown that revascularization reduces the risk of future …
