Interesting article published in 2018 exploring how perfusion CT / MR may help to predict infarct growth during patient’s transfer (Annals of Neurology) Authors at Stanford NeuroImaging Stanford Stroke Center found that infarct growth rate was strongly correlated with HIR (ratio of TMax>10 / TMax >6). HIR ≥ 0.5 was optimal for predicting infarct growth, with a median infarct growth rate of 10.1ml/h compared with 0.9ml/h in patients with HIR < 0.5. Patients with HIR ≥ 0.5 had an 83% probability of significant core growth, whereas patients with HIR < 0.5 had an 88% probability of core stability. These preliminary data have the potential to guide decision making regarding whether repeat brain imaging should be performed after transfer to a comprehensive stroke center Adrien Guenego NeuroVascu lab Brussels RadioLogs Jeremy Heit MD, PhD Greg Albers #stroke #thrombectomy

𝐀 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠! 🧠   Today, we're delving into the complexities of Intracranial Compliance (ICC) and its clinical significance. In our latest review, we explore why #ICC hasn't yet become a common tool in clinical practice, despite its potential in neuromonitoring and treatment evaluation.   𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬: 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐇𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐬: The study reveals the challenges in ICC assessment - the invasive nature of direct measurement and the limitations of #noninvasive methods in emergency situations. 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲: Introducing the concept of 'time elapsed' (TE) in ICC measurement, the study highlights its significance in capturing dynamic changes in brain conditions. 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐭𝐲: Acknowledging the brain's time-dependent viscous properties, the research underscores the need for a comprehensive brain model to accurately define ICC. 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: The review suggests the need for a rapid, non-invasive method to quantify ICC, emphasizing its importance in neurology and neurosurgery.   📚𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬: 📌Title: "Why Intracranial Compliance Is Not Utilized as a Common Practical Tool in Clinical Practice" 📌Author: Seifollah Gholampour 📌Published in: Biomedicines, 2023 📌DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11113083   See the comments section below for the link to the full paper! ➡️Share your thoughts on how ICC can reshape neurological care and stay tuned for more insights from #BrainInsight!

Our latest paper is now published in Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery!🧠📄 Key findings from our research: • Spontaneous improvement of large cysts and white matter edema may occur in leukoencephalopathy with calcifications and cysts (LCC). • Recovery upon bevacizumab in individual LCC cases might be mistakenly attributed to drug effect. • Understanding the LCC disease course requires a large-scale and long-term natural history study. • Anecdotal drug effects must be validated by clinical trials before drawing conclusions.

Dazzling Dilemmas: Differentiating Intracranial Masses Using MR Imaging Melissa van Kuik, M.D.; et al. (Department of Neurology, OLVG, Amsterdam, Netherlands)   It is not uncommon for intracranial space-occupying lesions (SOLs) to be identified during the diagnostic workup in patients with focal neurological deficits. The differential diagnosis of intracranial SOLs includes conditions such as abscesses, hemorrhage, meningiomas, gliomas, lymphomas, and cerebral metastases. The therapeutic approach to these diagnoses varies greatly. Therefore, accurately distinguishing between these conditions is paramount. The authors elaborate on the differentiation between cerebral abscesses, gliomas, and cerebral metastases using different #MRI sequences. Techniques such as DWI and perfusion imaging can provide information about various aspects of the SOL and the adjacent brain tissue, helping to distinguish between these conditions.   In practice, however, these scanning techniques still do not fully guarantee a correct diagnosis. A more detailed analysis of the peritumoral region or the use of other techniques such as MR spectroscopy may potentially lead to further improvement of the accuracy.
