    Abstract: The relationship between ischemic stroke site and occurrence of poststroke epilepsy (PSE) is incompletely understood. This study intended to evaluate incidence and temporal profiles of seizures and to correlate ischemic lesion sites with PSE using voxel‐based lesion symptom mapping (VLSM). Methods Patients with imaging‐confirmed first‐ever ischemic stroke without prior history of epilepsy were prospectively included. Demographic data, cardiovascular risk factors, and National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores were assessed. Data on seizures and modified Rankin scale scores were determined within a 90‐day period after stroke onset. Ischemic lesion sites were correlated voxel wise with occurrence of PSE using nonparametric permutation test. Age‐ and sex‐matched patients with first‐ever ischemic strokes without PSE after 90 days served as controls for the VLSM analysis. Results The stroke database contained 809 patients (mean age: 68.4 ± 14.2 years) with first‐ever imaging‐confirmed ischemic strokes without history of epilep. Incidence of PSE after 90‐day follow‐up was 2.8%. Five additional patients were admitted to the emergency department with a seizure after 90‐day follow‐up. Fifty percent of the seizures occurred in the acute phase after stroke. PSE patients had higher NIHSS scores and infarct volumes compared to controls without PSE ( p   〈  .05). PSE patients had infarcts predominantly involving the cerebral cortex. The hemisphere‐specific VLSM analysis shows associations between PSE and damaged voxels in the left‐hemispheric temporo‐occipital transition zone. Conclusions The data indicate that PSE occurs in a small proportion of patients with rather large ischemic strokes predominantly involving the cerebral cortex. Especially patients with ischemic lesions in the temporo‐occipital cortex are vulnerable to develop PSE.

    Abstract: The role of neuroinflammation in the pathophysiology of seizures is increasingly recognized, and the evaluation of potential biochemical markers of inflammatory processes in seizures and status epilepticus (SE), such as C‐reactive protein (CRP), has gained attention. The present study assessed the first CRP level obtained in an SE episode regarding its value for SE outcome prediction. Among 362 admissions for SE during the study period, 231 episodes satisfied the inclusion criteria. Higher initial CRP concentrations were independently associated with in‐hospital mortality and poor functional outcome at discharge in logistic regression models adjusting for SE severity, severity of SE etiology, and development of treatment refractoriness. Therefore, initial CRP levels may add to the prediction of SE prognosis. The pathomechanisms through which CRP is linked with the prognosis of SE, however, remain to be established.

    Abstract: Background and purpose: Based on artificial intelligence (AI), 3D angiography (3DA) is a novel postprocessing algorithm for “DSA-like” 3D imaging of cerebral vasculature. Because 3DA requires neither mask runs nor digital subtraction as the current standard 3D-DSA does, it has the potential to cut the patient dose by 50%. The object was to evaluate 3DA’s diagnostic value for visualization of intracranial artery stenoses (IAS) compared to 3D-DSA. Materials and methods: 3D-DSA datasets of IAS (nIAS = 10) were postprocessed using conventional and prototype software (Siemens Healthineers AG, Erlangen, Germany). Matching reconstructions were assessed by two experienced neuroradiologists in consensus reading, considering image quality (IQ), vessel diameters (VD1/2), vessel-geometry index (VGI = VD1/VD2), and specific qualitative/quantitative parameters of IAS (e.g., location, visual IAS grading [low-/medium-/high-grade] and intra-/poststenotic diameters [dintra-/poststenotic in mm] ). Using the NASCET criteria, the percentual degree of luminal restriction was calculated. Results: In total, 20 angiographic 3D volumes (n3DA = 10; n3D-DSA = 10) were successfully reconstructed with equivalent IQ. Assessment of the vessel geometry in 3DA datasets did not differ significantly from 3D-DSA (VD1: r = 0.994, p = 0.0001; VD2:r = 0.994, p = 0.0001; VGI: r = 0.899, p = 0.0001). Qualitative analysis of IAS location (3DA/3D-DSA:nICA/C4 = 1, nICA/C7 = 1, nMCA/M1 = 4, nVA/V4 = 2, nBA = 2) and the visual IAS grading (3DA/3D-DSA:nlow-grade = 3, nmedium-grade = 5, nhigh-grade = 2) revealed identical results for 3DA and 3D-DSA, respectively. Quantitative IAS assessment showed a strong correlation regarding intra-/poststenotic diameters (rdintrastenotic = 0.995, pdintrastenotic = 0.0001; rdpoststenotic = 0.995, pdpoststenotic = 0.0001) and the percentual degree of luminal restriction (rNASCET 3DA = 0.981; pNASCET 3DA = 0.0001). Conclusions: The AI-based 3DA is a resilient algorithm for the visualization of IAS and shows comparable results to 3D-DSA. Hence, 3DA is a promising new method that allows a considerable patient-dose reduction, and its clinical implementation would be highly desirable.

    Abstract: General guideline recommendations in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) include blood pressure-, temperature- and glucose management. The therapeutic effect of such a “care bundle” (blood pressure lowering, glycemic control, and treatment of pyrexia) on clinical outcomes becomes increasingly established. For the present study, we aimed to investigate associations of strict bundled care treatment (BCT) with clinical outcomes and characterize associations with key outcome effectors such as hematoma enlargement (HE) and peak perihemorrhagic edema (PHE). Methods We screened consecutive ICH patients ( n = 1,322) from the prospective UKER-ICH cohort study. BCT was defined as achieving and maintaining therapeutic ranges for systolic blood pressure (110–160 mmHg), glucose (80–180 mg/dL), and body temperature (35.5–37.5°C) over the first 72 h. The primary outcome was the functional outcome at 12 months (modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0–3). Secondary outcomes included mortality at 12 months, the occurrence of hematoma enlargement, and the development of peak perihemorrhagic edema. Confounding was addressed by a doubly robust methodology to calculate the absolute treatment effect (ATE) and by calculating e-values. Results A total of 681 patients remained for analysis, and 182 patients fulfilled all three BCT criteria and were compared to 499 controls. The ATE of BCT to achieve the primary outcome was 9.3%, 95% CI (1.7 to 16.9), p & lt; 0.001; e-value: 3.1, CI (1.8). Mortality at 12 months was significantly reduced by BCT [ATE: −12.8%, 95% CI (−19.8 to −5.7), p & lt; 0.001; e-value: 3.8, CI (2.2)], and no association was observed for HE or peak PHE. Significant drivers of BCT effect on the primary outcome were systolic blood pressure control (ATE: 15.9%) and maintenance of normothermia (ATE: 10.9%). Conclusion Strict adherence to this “care bundle” over the first 72 h during acute hospital care in patients with ICH was independently associated with improved functional long-term outcome, driven by systolic blood pressure control and maintenance of normothermia. Our findings strongly warrant prospective validation to determine the generalizability especially in Western countries. Clinical trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov , identifier [ID: NCT03183167].

    In: Journal of Neurology, Springer Science and Business Media LLC
    Abstract: Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disease of unknown etiology affecting the central nervous system in up to 15% of the patients. Diagnosis of neurosarcoidosis is very challenging due to the heterogeneity of its clinical manifestation. This study intended to evaluate the distribution of cerebral lesion sites and the potential presence of specific lesion clusters in neurosarcoidosis patients using voxel-based lesion symptom mapping (VLSM). Methods Patients with neurosarcoidosis were retrospectively identified and included between 2011 and 2022. Cerebral lesion sites were correlated voxel-wise with presence and absence of neurosarcoidosis using non-parametric permutation test. Multiple sclerosis patients served as controls for the VLSM-analysis. Results Thirty-four patients (mean age 52 ± 15 years) of whom 13 were diagnosed with possible, 19 with probable and 2 with confirmed neurosarcoidosis were identified. Lesion overlap of neurosarcoidosis patients demonstrated a distribution of white matter lesions in all brain areas, with a periventricular predilection similar to multiple sclerosis. In contrast to multiple sclerosis controls, no propensity for lesions in proximity of the corpus callosum was observed. Neurosarcoidosis lesions appeared smaller and lesion volume was lower in the neurosarcoidosis cohort. The VLSM analysis showed minor associations between neurosarcoidosis and damaged voxels in the bilateral frontobasal cortex. Conclusions The VLSM analysis yielded significant associations in the bilateral frontal cortex, suggesting that leptomeningeal inflammatory disease with following cortical involvement is a quite specific feature in neurosarcoidosis. Lesion load was lower in neurosarcoidosis than in multiple sclerosis. However, no specific pattern of subcortical white matter lesions in neurosarcoidosis was revealed.

    Abstract: Predicting final stent position can be challenging when treating cerebral aneurysms. Third-Party software proved helpful in selecting proper stents in treatment planning. Recent angiographic systems provide basic stent simulation capabilities integrated in the post-processing software to simulate stent position. Goal of this analysis was to evaluate the simulation process and correlation with definite stent position. Materials and Methods Thirty-three datasets with fusiform (n = 10) and saccular (n = 23) aneurysms, treated with stent or flow-diverter, were processed. A “virtual stent” of the same (nominal) size was simulated and its position was compared to the treatment result. Simulated length was rated in five grades (too short, shorter, equal, longer, too long), with regard to side-branches, anchoring zone etc. Simulation quality (centerline recognition/adherence to vessel margins) was rated in three grades (no, minor or major corrections required). Results Simulation was successful in 32/33 cases (97%), with one abortive attempt (3%). In 27/33 simulations (82%), there was no need for centerline refinement. Minor corrections were necessary in four and major corrections in two cases. Simulated nominal length was rated “equal” in 14/33 (42%) cases and “shorter” or “longer” – but within acceptable range – in each 9/33 (27%) cases. Conclusion Basic stent simulation tools available with genuine angiographic workplace software can provide good simulation capabilities without need for third-party equipment. They can facilitate treatment planning and help to avoid shortage of devices. Yet, lack of calculation of foreshortening in large vessel diameters leaves the user to rely on their experience to account for device-specific properties.

    Abstract: 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Background: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 Prevention of hematoma enlargement in oral anticoagulation-associated intracerebral hemorrhage (OAC-ICH) focuses on blood pressure (BP) reduction and OAC reversal. We investigated whether treatment efficiency and clinical outcomes differ between OAC-ICH patients admitted outside versus during regular working hours. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Methods: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 Based on pooled data of multicenter cohort studies, we grouped OAC-ICH patients (vitamin K antagonist [VKA], non-vitamin K oral anticoagulant [NOAC] ) according to on- vs. off-hour admission. Primary outcome was the functional outcome using the modified Rankin scale (mRS) dichotomized into favorable (mRS 0–3) and unfavorable (mRS 4–6) and mortality at 3 months. Secondary outcome measures included the occurrence of hematoma enlargement, the proportions of patients with systolic BP & #x3c;140 mm Hg and with anticoagulation treatment achieving international normalized ratio (INR) levels & #x3c;1.3 at 4 h. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to account for imbalances in baseline characteristics. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Results: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 The study population consisted of 76/126 NOAC-ICH patients and 1,005/1,470 VKA patients presenting during off-hours. Functional outcome and mortality rates were not significantly different among PSM patients with VKA-ICH and NOAC-ICH during on- vs. off-hours (mRS 4–6 VKA-ICH: on-hour: 239/357 [66.9%] vs. 253/363 [69.7%] off-hour; 〈 i 〉 p 〈 /i 〉 = 0.43; NOAC-ICH: on-hour 26/42 [61.9%] vs. off-hour: 37/57 [64.9%] ; 〈 i 〉 p 〈 /i 〉 = 0.76; mRS 6 VKA-ICH: on-hour: 127/357 [35.6%] vs. off-hour: 148/363 [40.8%] ; 〈 i 〉 p 〈 /i 〉 = 0.15; ­NOAC-ICH: on-hour 17/42 [40.5%] vs. off-hour: 16/57 [28.1%] ; 〈 i 〉 p 〈 /i 〉 = 0.20). There were no differences detectable regarding the secondary outcome measures (i.e., hematoma enlargement, the proportion of patients who achieved systolic BP levels & #x3c;140 mm Hg at 4 h as well as anticoagulation treatment achieving INR levels & #x3c;1.3 at 4 h) in OAC patients. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Conclusion: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 Our study implies that BP reduction and anticoagulation reversal management are well established and associated with similar rates of hematoma enlargement and clinical outcomes in on- vs. off-hour admitted OAC-ICH patients.
