    Abstract: Computed tomography perfusion (CTP) has been criticized for limited brain coverage. This may result in inadequate coverage of the lesion, inadequate arterial input function, or omission of the lesion within the target perfusion volume. The availability of 320-slice CT scanners offers whole brain coverage. This minimizes the chances of misregistration of lesions regardless of location, and makes the selection of the arterial input function easy. We present different clinical scenarios in which whole brain CTP is especially useful.

    Abstract: The SILK flow diverter (SFD) is used for the treatment of complex intracranial aneurysms. Small case series have been reported in the literature but few studies with a large number of patients have been published. We present our experience with the SFD for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms in Canada. Methods Centers across Canada using SFDs were contacted to fill out a case report form for patients treated with an SFD in their center. Individual centers were responsible for approval from their ethics committee. Image analysis was performed by individual operators. The case report forms were collected and the final analysis was performed. Results A total of 92 patients were treated with SFDs in eight centers in Canada between January 2009 and August 2013. The aneurysms were located in the posterior circulation in 16 patients and in the anterior circulation in 76 patients. Most aneurysms (75%) were saccular in shape; 22% were fusiform and 3% were blister aneurysms. The size of the aneurysms varied from 2 to 60 mm with the neck varying from 2 to 60 mm. Perioperative morbidity and mortality were 8.7% and 2.2%, respectively. At the last available follow-up, 83.1% of the aneurysms were either completely or near-completely occluded. The rate of complications was higher for fusiform aneurysms (p 〈 0.001). Conclusions The SFD appears to be an important tool for the treatment of complex intracranial aneurysms. Treatment outcomes and complication rates remain a problem, but should be considered in the context of available alternative interventions. Ongoing analysis of flow-diverting stents for radiographic and clinical performance is required.

    Abstract: Synchronous multiplicity of cranial and spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) is known but uncommon. The authors report on a patient with the unusual finding of multiple cranial and multiple separate spinal DAVFs. The patient initially presented with vague visual symptoms in 2004. A cranial DAVF was identified along the left transverse sinus with cortical venous reflux and another DAVF was identified along the posterior part of the superior sagittal sinus with no cortical venous reflux. The first DAVF was treated both endovascularly and surgically and the second was left untreated. The follow-up angiogram showed multiple spinal DAVFs at the levels of C-1, C-2, and C-6 on the left side and at the C-3 level on the right side along with another cranial DAVF along the anterior part of the superior sagittal sinus with cortical venous reflux. A retrospective analysis of the digital subtraction angiogram and MR images suggested that the cervical spinal DAVFs were already present in 2004 (6 years previously). Multiple DAVFs, although rare, do exist and it is important to look for any evidence of their presence when evaluating patients with symptoms suggestive of arteriovenous fistulas.

    Abstract: Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) with cortical venous drainage have significant morbidity and mortality. Complete closure of these lesions is necessary to reduce these risks. The purpose of our study was to compare the outcome of DAVFs treated with Onyx versus those treated with n-Butyl Cyanoacrylate (nBCA) and coil embolization in a case-control study. Compared with nBCA and coil embolization, we hypothesized that Onyx embolization for DAVF is safer and has a higher chance of complete obliteration, with no need for post-embolization surgery for the DAVF. Materials and methods From 1998 to 2015, 29 patients who had DAVFs were treated with endovascular embolization. Of these, 24 patients had imaging available for analysis. Successful closure rates, complications, and procedure time were compared between the embolization techniques. Results The chance of not requiring post-embolization surgery with Onyx (81.8%) was significantly higher ( p = 0.005) than with nBCA (22.22%). The complication rate with Onyx (9.1%) tended to be lower compared with that of nBCA (22.22%; p = 0.37). Procedural time was not significantly different between Onyx (mean 267 minutes) and nBCA (mean 288 minutes) ( p = 0.59). The odds ratio of a DAVF being treated with Onyx and then requiring no follow-up surgery was 17.5 (95% CI 1.97–155.4). Conclusion Our case-control study suggests that Onyx embolization is superior to nBCA and coil embolization in completely obliterating DAVFs, with higher odds of no post-embolization surgery. We also found that Onyx is safe for embolization of DAVFs, with no associated neurological mortality and morbidity.

    Abstract: La reconstruction itérative réduirait la dose de radiation tout en préservant et même en améliorant la qualité de l’image. Le but de cette étude était d’évaluer les effets d’une reconstruction itérative avec filtrage des sinogrammes (sinogram-affirmed - SAFIRE) sur la diminution de la dose de radiation et sur la qualité de l’image pour la tomodensitométrie de la tête sans agent de contraste chez l’adulte et de comparer SAFIRE à la reconstruction par rétroprojection filtrée (FBP) conventionnelle. Méthode Nous avons obtenu l’approbation du Comité d’éhique de l’institution pour cette étude rétrospective des scans de 107 patients reconstruits avec SAFIRE et/ou FBP. Les paramètres de la dose de radiation ont été recueillis des rapports de dose générés par le scanner. Les rapports signal-bruit et contraste-bruit (RSB, RCB) ont été calculés pour les mesures d’atténuation de la substance grise (SG) et de la substance blanche(SB). Le bruit, les artéfacts, la distinction SG-SB, la visibilité des petites structures et la netteté de l’image ont été évalués par deux lecteurs. L’analyse statistique a été réalisée au moyen du test de t pour échantillons indépendants pour les données quantitatives, du test des rangs signés de Wilcoxon pour échantillons appariés pour les données qualitatives, du coefficient de répétabilité pour la variation intra-observateur et de la statistique ƙ pour la concordance interobservateur. Résultats La dose moyenne efficace était significativement réduite avec SAFIRE, de 2,0 à 1,7 mSv (p 〈 0,0001). SAFIRE améliorait significativement le RSB SG, le RSB SB et le RCB SG-SB (p 〈 0,0001). Des réductions significatives du bruit d’image et des artéfacts à la fosse postérieure ainsi qu’une meilleure distinction SG-SB, une amélioration de la visibilité de petites structures et de la netteté de l’image ont été notées avec SAFIRE (p 〈 0,005). Conclusions SAFIRE, utilisé pour la tomodensitométrie de la tête avec les réglages utilisés chez l’adulte dans notre institution, diminue de 15% la dose de radiation à laquelle est exposé le patient tout en améliorant significativement plusieurs mesures quantitatives et qualitatives de la qualité de l’image.

    Abstract: Utilisation de la bléomycine dans le cas de malformations veinolymphatiques de la tête et du cou : une analyse systématique . Contexte : Les malformations veinolymphatiques sont de rares lésions vasculaires bénignes de la tête et du cou. La sclérothérapie est devenue un traitement de première ligne de ces lésions, la bléomycine étant à cet égard un des agents sclérosants couramment utilisés. Objectif : Effectuer une analyse systématique de la littérature scientifique publiée en vue de produire une synthèse des preuves de la sécurité et de l’efficacité de la bléomycine dans le traitement des malformations veinolymphatiques de la tête et du cou. Origine des données : Nous avons effectué une revue systématique de littérature (de janvier 1995 à mai 2019) à l’aide des bases de données Pubmed, Embase et Cochrane Library afin d’identifier des études portant sur la sclérothérapie des malformations veinolymphatiques de la tête et du cou. Sélection à la base de l’étude : Au total, 32 études et 1121 participants ont satisfait à nos critères d’inclusion. Analyse de données : Deux examinateurs indépendants ont filtré et extrait des données en plus d’évaluer les risques de biais. Le principal résultat évalué a été la réduction, subjective ou objective, de la taille de ces lésions en plus d’une diminution des complications d’ordre mineur ou majeur. Synthèse des données : La sclérothérapie à l’aide de la bléomycine et de la pingyangmycine a permis de réduire la taille de ces lésions, tant d’un point de vue objectif que subjectif, chez 96,3 % des patients (IC 95 % 94,1-98,5 %). Des complications mineures ont été observées dans 16,2 % des cas tandis que des complications majeures l’ont été dans seulement 1,1 % des cas. Conclusion : La bléomycine s’est révélée un traitement des malformations veinolymphatiques de la tête et du cou hautement efficace offrant un faible taux d’événements indésirables majeurs. À noter toutefois que cette étude ne représente qu’une mise à jour de données « disponibles » et que seules des études de qualité faible à moyenne étaient disponibles. Limites de cette étude : Notre étude a passé en revue 32 publications antérieures de différentes parties du monde. Il n’est donc pas surprenant que nous ayons noté une hétérogénéité des modèles d’étude et des interventions cliniques.
