Punctate Hyperdensity on Noncontrast-enhanced Computed Tomography before Rupture of a Mycotic Cerebral Aneurysm in a Patient with Infective Endocarditis: A Case Report Open
Mycotic cerebral aneurysms secondary to infective endocarditis carry a high risk of fatal rupture. Early identification and appropriate intervention are critical. We present a case in which a punctate hyperdense lesion on noncontrast-enhan…

Microvascular decompression for hemifacial spasm involving a tortuous vertebral artery: a single-center 100-patient series with surgical nuances and literature review Open
OBJECTIVE Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is occasionally caused by neurovascular compression (NVC) from a tortuous and elongated vertebral artery (VA), often with dolichoectatic changes. The aim of this study was to determine whether patients with…

Direct Carotid-Cavernous Fistula due to Aneurysmal Rupture with Residual Aortic Dissection Treated by Coil Embolization via Direct Puncture of the Common Carotid Artery: A Case Report Open
This case demonstrates that d-CCF can be safely and effectively treated with careful vascular evaluation and a tailored endovascular strategy, even in extremely old patients with difficult vascular access and complex aneurysmal anatomy.

Surgical Nuances and Predictors of Requirement for Suprameatal Tubercle Removal in Microvascular Decompression for Trigeminal Neuralgia Open
Objective Suprameatal tubercle (SMT), a bony prominence located above the internal acoustic meatus, is reported to impede the microscopic view during microvascular decompression (MVD) for trigeminal neuralgia (TN). For an enlarged SMT, rem…

Acute Brainstem Dysfunction Caused by Cavernous Sinus Dural Arteriovenous Fistula Open
Symptoms of cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistula depend on the drainage patterns and are very diverse. Among these, brainstem dysfunction is a rare but serious complication. Here, we describe a case with isolated and rapidly progres…

Bridging veins and veins of the brainstem in microvascular decompression surgery for trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm Open
OBJECTIVE In microvascular decompression surgery for trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm, the bridging veins are dissected to provide the surgical corridors, and the veins of the brainstem may be mobilized in cases of venous compress…

Measurement of Poloidal Flow Profiles Using a Mach Probe Array in HYBTOK-II Tokamak with RMP Fields Open
In magnetic confinement plasmas, plasma rotation plays an important role in the penetration and propagation processes of external RMP fields. To investigate the relation between the penetration of RMP fields and plasma flow, we have create…
