Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of the brain and face present unique challenges for clinicians. Cerebral AVMs may induce hemorrhage or form aneurysms, while facial AVMs can cause significant disfigurement and pain. Moreover, facial AVMs often draw blood supply from arteries providing critical blood flow to other important structures of the head which may make them impossible to treat curatively. Medical adjuvants may be an important consideration in the management of these patients.

The hemodynamic environment of an atherosclerotic plaque varies along the longitudinal direction. Investigating the changes in plaque morphology and its biomechanical environment along the longitudinal direction and their correlations will enhance our understanding of plaque progression and arterial remodeling.

Most patients cannot receive intravenous thrombolytic therapy in the early stage of stroke onset, and the application of mobile stroke unit (MSU) in prehospital intravenous thrombolytic therapy of acute stroke may change this situation. The first MSU in China was put into use in 2017. Herein, we aimed to explore the preliminary experience of MSU in prehospital thrombolysis of acute stroke.

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating hemorrhagic event and is associated with high mortality or severe neurological sequelae. Age-associated differences in hematoma location for nonlobar ICH are not well known. The aims of the present study were to elucidate the relationship between age and hematoma location and to assess the differences in small-vessel disease (SVD) burden as a potential surrogate marker for longstanding hypertension among various hematoma locations.

The Los Angeles Motor Scale (LAMS) is a 3-item, 0-to-5-point motor stroke-deficit scale derived from the Los Angeles Prehospital Stroke Screen. We assessed the predictive validity (for interventions performed and discharge disposition) of the LAMS performed in the field by paramedics in a geographic region of over 5,200 km2, covering both rural and urban areas.

Brainstem cavernous malformations (BSCM)-associated mortality has been reported up to 20% in patients managed conservatively, whereas postoperative mortality rates range from 0 to 1.9%. Our aim was to analyze the actual risk and causes of BSCM-associated mortality in patients managed conservatively and surgically based on our own patient cohort and a systematic literature review.

Acute infarction patterns have been described in cardioembolic stroke, mainly with atrial fibrillation (AF) or patent foramen ovale. We aimed to analyse acute infarction magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics in stroke patients with intracardiac thrombus (ICT) compared with stroke patients with AF.

Lacunar stroke (LS) accounts for about one-quarter of all acute ischemic strokes, represents an important marker of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), and has prognostic significance in terms of recurrent vascular events and vascular cognitive impairment. Our understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of LS is largely based on the meticulous postmortem work of C. Miller Fisher in the late 1960s, with scarce subsequent pathological analysis of the “lacunar hypothesis” and no reliable approaches for direct in vivo imaging of the small intracranial vessels. The recent development of high-resolution MRI, which allows both large-vessel wall and perforating arteries to be imaged in one setting, provides the opportunity to advance understandings of the clinical mechanisms, imaging characteristics, and pathogenesis of LS. Given accumulating evidence of endothelial dysfunction and blood-brain-barrier disruption as early features of CSVD-related LS, advanced imaging may allow various underlying pathogenetic mechanisms to be defined and for better targeting of therapeutic approaches in LS. In this review, progress in understanding the pathogenesis of LS is outlined, covering pathology, pathophysiology, and imaging characteristics, with a focus toward future directions in the complex entity of LS.

Vulnerable plaques are a strong predictor of cerebrovascular ischemic events, and high lipid core plaques (LCPs) are associated with an increased risk of embolic infarcts during carotid artery stenting (CAS). Recent developments in magnetic resonance (MR) plaque imaging have enabled noninvasive assessment of carotid plaque vulnerability, and the lipid component and intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) are visible as high signal intensity areas on T1-weighted MR images. Recently, catheter-based near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been shown to accurately distinguish LCPs without IPH. This study aimed to determine whether the results of assessment of high LCPs by catheter-based NIRS correlate with the results of MR plaque imaging.
