Acute ischemic stroke is one of leading causes of disability worldwide. Current therapeutic modalities have very narrow time window, therefore adequate diagnosis and therapeutic modality choice is very important. This article highlights the issues regarding current recommendation of early in-hospital management of acute ischemic stroke. By understanding current recommendation of treatment, we can better access and treat patients with acute ischemic stroke.

We report a case of blood blister-like aneurysm treated with coil embolization without stent assistance. A 34-year-old man with a medical history of hypertension presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Initial digital subtraction and computed tomography angiography did not demonstrate definite vascular pathologies. Two weeks later, follow-up angiography showed a wide neck aneurysm on the dorsal wall of left distal internal carotid artery, which was not found on the first angiograms. This blood blister-like aneurysm was successfully treated with coil embolization without stent assistance, and the regrowth or recanalization has not been identified for 6 months. While both surgical and endovascular procedures are quite challenging, endovascular coiling with stent assistance for this aneurysm is generally recommended. But endovascular coiling without stent assistance may be attempted for instances such as relatively narrow neck and young age.

The classification of epilepsy is revised in 2017, of which framework supports detailed semiology of seizure as well as etiology of epilepsy. Accordingly, there are terms used previously have changed, and new terms that did not exist before. Electroencephalography is indispensable in the diagnosis of epilepsy, and it is also an important way to investigate cerebral activity. In this review, we summarize the classification of epilepsy and discuss the clinical significance of electroencephalography.

Objectives The effect of statins on venous thromboembolism (VTE) especially pulmonary embolism (PE) is debatable. This study investigated whether statin medication can decrease the occurrence of VTE in patients with hemorrhagic stroke during the acute period. Methods This is a retrospective study of patients with hemorrhagic stroke between March 2011 and December 2013. Patients with newly diagnosed hemorrhagic stroke were observed during 6 weeks of hospitalisation. Occurrence determined using Doppler ultrasound and computed angiography was used to assess risk factors of VTE in patients with hemorrhagic stroke during the acute period. The difference and incidence of the VTE among acute hemorrhagic stroke was analysed in patients who did not receive no statin medication, who received statin medication after the current hemorrhagic stroke, and who received statin medication after previous hemorrhagic stroke. Results Among 98 patients, 9 (9.2%) patients representing 3 from each group had VTE (6 for deep vein thrombosis and 3 for PE) during the follow-up. Each incidence of VTE was 6.4%, 13.6%, and 10.3% in patients who did not receive statins, who received statin medication after the current hemorrhagic stroke, and who received statin medication after previous hemorrhagic stroke, respectively (p>0.05). Conclusions Moderate instensity dose of statin use was not associated with a reduced risk of VTE in patients with hemorrhagic stroke, especially in the acute period. Randomized, placebo-controlled trials are needed to evaluate the potential benefits of lipid-lowering statin in the prevention of venous thromboembolisn in patients with heamorrhagic stroke.

Between January 2006 and December 2016, a total of 279 patients treated UIAs with surgical clipping or coil embolization have been included in this study. In the same period, 100 patients did undergo transfemoral cerebral angiograms and were initially managed with observation. Aneurysmal characteristics and patinets were compared between the treated and the observed group. The association between these factors and the decision of treatment was performed using a multivariate logistic regression analysis.

Methylprednisolone could be administrated for neurologic recovery but the potential side effects could be carefully considered. Besides limb motor and sensory deficits, SCI could affect various respiratory muscles as diaphragm, chest wall, and abdomen which leads to respiratory failure and mechanical ventilation. Sympathetic nerve denervation could lead hypotension and bradycardia. Volume supplement and cardiovascular constrictor could be considered.
