OBJECTIVE--Prolonged improvement in neurological and mental disorders has been seen
after only cranioplasty in patients initially treated with external decompression for high …

Little is known about how ischemia affects hemodynamic responses to neural activation in the
brain. We compare the effects of a motor activation task and a cerebral vasodilating agent, …

We measured changes in dural thickness to estimate intracranial pressure. The dural
thickness on magnetic resonance imaging with contrast enhancement was compared in a …

A 59-year-old female had been treated for epilepsy over 20 years. She had frequent convulsive
seizures in spite of medication and was admitted to our hospital in status epilepticus. CT …

Although dividing the posterior communicating artery (PComA) during surgery has been
criticized for increasing the risk of ischaemia, this procedure increases working space improving …

Carbon dioxide (C0 2 ) and acetazolamide are increasingly being used as vasodilators to
detect cerebrovascular reserve capacity in patients of chronic cerebrovascular disease. The …

Background Although the important protective effect of venous collateral pathways in sinus
occlusion on parenchymal injury has been demonstrated in previous works, the vascular …

Continuous measurement of CBV and CBF by means of laser-Doppler flowmetry was performed
to analyze the temporal profile of cerebrovascular response to water accumulation in an …

Quantitative measurements of brainstem distortion and neural dysfunction were obtained in
25 cases of chronic subdural haematoma. The horizontal and rotational brainstem …
